Improved Styling and Performance.

First we puched the cat. Took us about 15 minutes once the cat was removed.

Improvment?
Yes. From 40 on up You notice high end power.
Even from dead stop with the OD off it feels faster.
There is a louder kinda hiss now coming from the exhaust system.

Second.
I took off my sunroof deflector. It looks more boxy and sporty. It doesn't stick out now.
Noise difference.
You notice more wind coming into the car but that's about all.
The over all sound is about the same.

for more information on how to do these easy cheap mods PM me.

 

 

We took off the cat and puched out the stuffing inside of it.

 

Nice....I always wanted to puch out the stuffing inside the cat!

 

so you gutted your cat? It will give you an improvement, but I don't know if you will be able to pass emissions testing.....do you have a cali spec maxima or fed spec?

 

I don't think he'll pass... but he has time to find a new one before emissions.

My kitty will be installed this weekend (couldn't do it last week because of the GC/Koni's). Meow!

 

Isn't it more convenience by creating a cat replacement straight pipe and save the cat for emission test?

 

Correct!
But I have someone to trade with when it comes to emissions time. BTW i'm going to do a 3 inch straight pipe with the 3 inch y pipe

UMD I have a fed spec max.

 

3" kitty for her
2.5" kitty for me

Forgot to mention... they are Random Technology cats.

3"? Too big... unless you're force fed or on a lot of laughing gas.

 

Will it fit?>

 

Did the Ground Control coilovers and Koni struts fit?

 

Yes I plan on having lots of Juice and some forced induction

 

The ground control, Koni, and the kitty!

 

I hope so.
Its mostly a driveway queen these days.

 

hehhehehe....my car is a beltway traffic bi*ch then....I don't think I could stand a really loud car for the amount of time i spend in traffic

 

Will the forced induction be the same as my forced inductions?

You're going to loose a lot of low end if you decide to put the 3" stuff before your major power adders.

 

Yup I was kinda expecting that.
Thomas said he lost low end torque off the bottle with the 3 inch stuff.
we kinda planned for it.
So I will be adding the Juice pretty soon.
Thanks for the concern Kev.
Maybe we can share some info later
what secrets do you got

 

NorCal super secret... will die if I tell.

 

good luck kev
Keep me updated
and give me some ideas

 

You have fun too, but don't blow your automagic tranny.

 

You either

 

LOL! you guys are so humurous!

BTW, my other car, Acura Legend, which was designed to have low end torque. I thought it would be nice adding a cone filter to it, but it ended up very unbareable at the traffic. With just the filter, it lost so much low end, I cannot imagine how much low end you will loose with the 3" which dramatically reduce back pressure.

 

Hey....... my wife and I have 2 kittys but they are non maxima related . Their names are not CAtback or CATalytic converter Their names are Bill and Ted

 

sticky white rice?

 

to you too.
Why does a person whose username has the word "Love" have to make stupid comments about every single detail?
