Cat gutting?

[00SilverTAWS6]

How do you go about gutting a catalytic converter?

[kbronss]

i just flat out removed both of them. and never looked back.

Did you notice any change in performance and sound of your vehicle? What kind of vehicle do you have?

You take them off, use a piece of rebar and pound the ceramic stuff out of it.

An air chisel speeds up the process.

Yeah I noticed a little differance top end. and yeah all you gotta do is take them off and take a hammer and screwdriver (or some sort of rod) and know the crap outa the inside. I have LM exhaust w/out cats and I love the sound of it.

any sound clips?

[gnomee]

Yeah I took my cats off and went with a flowmaster muffler and the sound is incredible. According to my ass dyno it helped. I have not been the the real dyno since. As soon as I do I'll post a thread with exact horsepower differences.

Yo. New to the site.If you gut the cats. Will the computer turn on the check engine light?

[00SilverTAWS6]

Yes it will. You will need a pair of o2 simulators or someone with a programmer to clear the trouble codes the gutted cats will throw.

I would think you'd be better off buying a ORY pipe instead to replace that "flat" pipe that runs along the drivers side of the car, you can usually pick em up for about $100 used, are you running stock exhaust right now?

[00SilverTAWS6]

Where can I pick up a used ORY pipe that will fit the stock exhaust manifolds?
