·Taking out the cat seems like where some cheap hp can be made, but I have some questions about it, namely the noise factor.
Setting up a hypothetical question here; if I were to take out the cat on my stock exhaust and replace it with a test pipe, how much louder would the exhaust note be? As loud as a Borla? 50% louder? Now if I replaced the cat with a resonator, how much would that decrease the noise? Would I see any hp decrease?
I'm soon planning on getting a custom exhaust put in, with custom 2.5" mandrel bent aluminized steel, and probably an Arospeed Bomb tuneable muffler. Of course I'd like more power, but I don't want to piss off my parents if it's too loud. Should I take out the cat and put a 2nd resonator in there? Thanks.
BTW - Catalytic converter emissions have been shown to contribute to global warming, so don't give me any crap about deciding to take it out.
