Gutting out the stock cats

[Deadspool]

I feel as though the current generation has lost the concept of what a "sleeper" is.

These cars cannot be "sleepers". We LOOK fast.

Who is going to look at a twin, creeping away just as fast as it was before hollowing the cat and be like "DAAAAAAMN SUN, DATS A SLEEPER".

Will do. Should have these parts back from him in 1-2 weeks. He is a busy beer tank fabricator... So i'm at his mercy.

I bet if you ran stock wheels and suspension, OEM Muffler, but 400hp turbo build; I would class that as a sleeper.

No, We would then be as fast as we look.

Never known a cat to not use a rare metal. The ones that don't release other toxins, hence the reason they're not used...

Also, call me a tree hugger or whatever, but removing cats is dumb. The only valid reason to removing them is because you run leaded race gas.

I'll be a tree hugger and back your statement. Spend for hi flow cats, or at least keep one cat. Cats do exist for a good reason.

Instead of chopping the cat in the header and making his own collector he just gutted the cat and port n polished it out so it looks stock from the engine bay. Stock shielding is going back on both pieces. I'm spraying the header + Front pipe with some DEI High Temp Silicone spray before putting the shielding back on though for shits n giggles. Should be an interesting start up!



Offering this service to locals.... Can't wait to see what it sounds like now vs the Revworks UEL header n Nameless Performance front pipe I took off.

The before dyno will be RevWorks header Nameless Performance front pipe + the proto catback from nameless thats a 3in to dual 2in cat back.

The after dyno changes will only be the stock gutted header n deleted stock frontpipe

Both on same dyno but diff temps. Shall see how it goes.

Do you get a cel from the header now? That's the only reason I'm hesitant about gutting it.
