glass pack vs cat

[FadeToBlak121]

so my cat is all clogged and stuff and i was reading and seeing that a bunch of people replaced them with glass packs. id ont know much about these, whats good/bad about replacing your cat with a glasspack? do they clog as easily as the stock cats? do they clog at all? is there any power gain? (im guessing no)

thanks

Re: glass pack vs cat

i know i can just get a new cat. but is there any benefit to just getting a glass pack?

if i get a new cat, itll just get clogged eventually until i fix the problem. will a glasspack clog just as easily?

Re: glass pack vs cat

If you're clogging cats in that short amount of time you have other issues...

Re: glass pack vs cat

no i know it wont be a short time, i was being sarcastic.

i bought the camaro with a clogged cat, prolly took years. just the glasspack is cheaper and i was wondering if theres any benefit.

Re: glass pack vs cat

also. if you do get rid of the cat, what do you do with the post cat o2 sensor? just leave it or remove it?

Re: glass pack vs cat

just get a straight exhaust pipe

leave the O2 sensor

Re: glass pack vs cat

if you're gonna remove the cat, a glasspack in it's place will definately help with rasp. and yes, you will make a little more power.

Re: glass pack vs cat

Will a glasspack take more of the rasp away than a highflow cat?

Re: glass pack vs cat

a glasspack will not pass an emissions test. an inspector would probably mistake it as a converter though. you could always cut off your cat; hollow it out, and weld it back on. your post cat o2 sensor will throw a code. they do make a sim for some year models that fool the sensor, or you could delete the code.

Re: glass pack vs cat

i have a glass pack in place of my cat, deffinatly takes out the rasp. even with headers it sounds pretty mellow with little to no rasp, with normal driving. if i get on it it gets nice and loud and sometimes i will get a little rasp around 5K
