i thought you were using a derogatory name for females. i was gonna say you are one sick bastard.


but taking the cat out in stl is illegal you may want to check that out with the state.

I live in Canada so it doesn't really matter..

oh, you guys dont have any emissions tests there?

btw, your car will be louder and i think this mod is only helpful with i/h/e

mainly just looking for the louder exhaust... I already have a straight flo muffler.... has nice tone but its not very loud....

I also have a carbed 88 with a flipped lid and K&N air filter...

I have my cat out too with just a pipe in its place. It doesn't make all that much of a noise difference just a little and I noticed a Slight gain in performance, yet I don't have a performance muffler yet. When I flipped my lid I noticed more performance and sound than from the pipe. Combined with with other mods it will help. I suggest just do it.

did you weld the pipe in place?? or did you just clamp it??

also does your pipe fit over the existing one or in it??

No it's bolted with flanges. I can't weld it because I have to get smogged. When smog time comes I put the cat on again after smog I just switch it back. Take a whole 10-20 min.
