if i get a loudmouth......

[bobbyem]

would i have to get a new cat, or would it fit onto the stock cat? on a 99, im pretty dead set on getting it and whatever it takes to get is as soon as i raise the funds....which should be about 2 weeks when i get my next paycheck

I'd get a new cat anyhow. I love mine - if money's a problem, you may be able to fabricate something similar or better for cheaper.

A 3" Dynomax I-pipe is $100, resonator is... $50?? Start from there and make yourself a "Dynomouth!" [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i would like to get a high flow cat but im worried about passing emissions, even though i dont have to get my car inspected till october 2004 [img]tongue.gif[/img] i dont know how strict the PA emissions tests are.....money isnt so much an issue, im not spending as much as i bring in so i can spend spend spend.....gotta love workin at wal mart [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img]

:cool: i bought a new high flow cat when i got my exhaust. im moving down to FL in a few weeks where there is no emissions and debating whether i should take the cat off or not. it would be so freaking loud id go deaf probably.

It will be extremely loud, I know. I'm louder than my friends v8's when they got the cutouts open :D

I highly doubt your V6 exhaust is louder than a V8 WITH a cutout...Otherwise, it would just be an obnoxious loud rather than a respectable sound. And what kind of cars do your friends have?

if you say so bud...but me and a buddies LS1 with his cutout open were sittin next to each other and mine was louder...and mine's louder at WOT too. and who gives a flyin' **** about respectably loud. I could really care less what it sounds like. I was planning on going turbo so I gotta loudmouth regardless of what it sounded like :rolleyes:

It is pretty damn loud, but you have a test pipe so I'm sure it's much louder.

[Rick M.]

trust me...there's a pretty big difference between havin a cat and not havin one. I used to have a 3" high flow on there and when I took the cat back out and put in a test pipe I couldn't believe how much louder that made it. :eek:

[xjarayax]

Well you should hear my open downpipe through 5 psi :eek: if you think yours is loud now ;)

[Rick M.]

well I do have a cutout to put in place of the test pipe if I decide to go turbo :D

I had to get my 1985 Pontiac Parisienne (boat sedan, Canadian version of the Bonneville) tested for the couple years I was living in Pittsburgh.

Both years I passed on cheap unleaded, no smog pump, a permanently bypassed heat riser valve, and the original cat at 170,000 miles.

I think you'll fail if a cylinder isn't firing and sending pure gas into the exhaust, but other than that with a car in good tune it's pretty tough I think.

bobbyem... we have a lot in common!

I drive a 99 V6 Camaro!

I work at Wal-mart!

I just ordered my SLP Loudmouth Catback! Should be here soon!

I have absolutely no clue if it will fit on the stock catalytic converter or not. I guess if it won't, you'll learn from my mistake huh?

[bobbyem]

haha nice and after lookin at the pics of your car, its the exact same as mine, same color, same ground effects package, but mines not t-tops...i wish it was.
