Ditch the cat or get a catco?

[CamaroRob97]

The fines are what scare me from not ditching the cat. Otherwise I don't care. I figure both ways i have to get a o2 sim. I figure in the long wrong it might be a good idea to have the cat. I don't hav emision testing and i can save 50 bucks by not buying a cat. What would you guys do?

hey,
im having the same decision right now, im getting a catco... its only 50 bux, and i see you have headers?? the main reason im going with a cat, is because i just ordered the cia headers and with the borla and no cat, my exhaust would be unbearably loud, it will still be super loud with the catco, but at least ill be able to hear the radio when im on the highway cruisin at 70.

ya iam getting the pacesetter headers on as soon as i get them. I think the resinator on the flowmaster will help me alot. I think most logically i should get the catco, but i want to be as loud as possible lol. How much more hp will i see not having the cat though? Probally not much, hmm decions decions.

Whats the odds of a cop looking for a cat anyway? I wouldn't think it be that high at all. I don't think thats the main concern.

CamaroRob - I think you'll see a bigger gain without the cat, i don't have one on now and it's true that I do loose a lot of low end, but the top end is so much better. My friend with the 02 y87 with a 3in flowmaster catback, i use to race and he'd take me 2 car lengths cuz of the gears. I raced him recently from a roll, and if you gave me to about 100 i think I could of been right next to his car. As for the cops looking down, what are the odds of cops driving next to me and see my muffler connected directly to the y-pipe with a turnoff to the side? And yes it's very noticeable. It's up to you, but personally I would never put a cheap *** catco on my car again.

if you live in a state with no emissions or sound ordinance against exhuast, then I'd say no cat, chances are slim to none that a cop will actually check for it or pull you over for it...

[CamaroRob97]

Ya, I don't think we do. I've never heard anything about it. Plus when ya around comps I always shift into a higher gear or let off anyway.

I dont know how the catco sounds but adding the straight pipe to my exhaust really made a huge differance for me. I like driving slow and barely tapping the gas so I can here that deep growl. Couldnt do that with just the b and b triflo.
