Drivin Around W/ Cat Off
i just wanted to see how loud the max would sound w/o the cat (actually test pipe) so i did it a few minutes ago and it sounds so freaken loud. i really do hate it and it kinda sounds like a truck. i did experience a whole loss of high end power but how bad is it to be drivin w/ the cat off besides the emission thing.
i'm gonna try to put it back on tomm. just hope a cop doesn't come up next me.

crazy as in u gained more power?
I drove with only ypipe on and the sound was increadible, loud and mad lowend power loss, but midrange and top end was crazy. Not bad to drive like that

On the top end I would break traction in 2nd, gained a lot of power ontop but lost a lot in low end and a tad in mid range. You got to try it, I had mustangs and camaro owners pull me over to find out wtf is going on. I even have a video posted online of me driving around. http://www.jatan.net/sonicdust187.wmv

Emissions and noise is mainly why they're there.
i know a friend of mine who has a silverado w/ his cats off and has flowmasters and sounds freaken loud, like somewht close to a hot rod.

WTF? please don't try too much of that stunt! Let the cops catch you doing that, they'll give you a huge ticket: improper equipment, and environmental pollution violations will get you big bucks thrown. be really careful with that stuff man. also the heat coming outta your headers are really hot even at the y section. drive fast enough, you might spit fire sometimes. then heck breaks loose, you might lit up the fuel tank!!! (heating up the fuel tank will increase internal pressure and superheat the gasoline inside)=====DANGER!!!

does the test pipe sound different from the stock cat? sorry if off topic
Alright, i got my pipe back on but magically i lost one of my bolt nut. the rear bolts are fastened but up front, theres only one bolt fastened and w/o the gasket cause it produced a very raspy sound b/c the gasket wasn't sealed tight.
so i'm drivin around with my pipe partially opened which still kinda makes a deep tone,
less than w/o a pipe completely. is it okay to run around w/ a gas leak for a while until i get that nut? it can't be worse than drivin w/o a cat.
