If you have a stock cat you'll notice a pretty good diffeerence.\'99 SSM Camaro V6 M5<br />(mod list on cardomain site; too long to list here)<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/v6cam99\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/v6cam99</a> -

as in more throaty or more ricey as the RPM's get louder?
Or just plain louder?Comment

if you do that you can get a custom s pipe made to bypass the resinator(the box that is by your pass side rear wheel on the s pipe) and your car will be loud as all hell like mine [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]WAWA-A-HOLIC

Where exactly is the resinator? The S-pipe is nowhere near the rear wheels...Comment

well your y pipe goes more by your pass side and then you cat is next, then the s pipe goes back the there is a box on the pipe(resinator) the your pipe will go over your axel and go into the muffler. if you have the american thunder flowmaster you should have it.WAWA-A-HOLIC

when i had the cat off my 95, it was a lot louder and more raspy, especially up in the rpm's... i put a cat back on cause the sound annoyed me. I also have a flowmaster as well, but my engine is a 3.4, so your results could vary...Phill<br /><br />95 camaro... need money for turbo project... <br />94 S10 Blazer - winter beater - infinity system to be installed soon<br /><br />\"The man who says it cant be done should not interrupt the man doing it...\"Comment

what kind of cat did you put on?Comment

honestly, i dont recall.. it was a supposed high flow from A&A auto parts.. i had a buddy that worked there at the time so i would get 20% off everything. if i'd buy one now, itd probably be a catco or something similar. you can get them through summit for like $65 or so.. you will see performance gains from keeping the cat off by the way. you might lose a bit of low end torque, but your engine will breathe better up in the rpm's...Phill<br /><br />95 camaro... need money for turbo project... <br />94 S10 Blazer - winter beater - infinity system to be installed soon<br /><br />\"The man who says it cant be done should not interrupt the man doing it...\"Comment
