[HotRodMercury]

Thinking of doing that ^^^

all 4 cats, what you guys think, yay or nay?,

[Black_Noise]

it will be retarded loud. Like a funny car at the drag strip

[HotRodMercury]

have you ever heard a marauder with no cats?.

[sd8683]

Good luck getting an inspection sticker

[HotRodMercury]

No inspections here, lol I just wanna know how it would sound,
any clips?, guy said over the phone at he'll do my car like he does,
the mustangs being that said cause I asked if the, Check engine light
would go on I dont realy remember how he would do it just he said no
light would come on,

Now just waiting to see if it would sound good or not?

Just remove the 2nd set of cats and save your money for some long tube headers.

I used to have side pipes that were directly off the H-pipe, no mufflers but had all four cats. It was retarded loud, had it for 3 wks and had to take them off cause I would get a headache every time I drove it for more than 20 mins.

[HotRodMercury]

How much would a set up long tube's run me?, thanks for the info
I think I might just do that, the second set only for now.

[ctrlraven]

Depends on if you just get the headers or headers and piping to do with it.

What sound are you looking for?

[High-C]

You should remove everything from the manifolds back... Problem solved.

[ImpalaSlayer]

long tubes from stianless works are 950 i belive. not cheap for a set of headers if you ask me.

[Black_Noise]

our headers are about twice or more exspensive than headers for other cars it seems

Thats because its for a small ammount of cars and not many people buy them.

Removing cats and forgoing pipes could be quite loud...

who makes the shorty header's thats aculy a good idea,

keeping all the stock pipe'ing..

I can do that right in my parking spot, along with a few brused up knuckles,
also includeing a bad back, afther all that a job well done lol, the sweet Sound!,
of victory lol or what ever lol.

I have no CATS, straight through mufflers of the lowest backpressure (Ultraflows), but the exhaust does pass through the turbine wheel which quiets it down.

It sounds very good, unlike any other one out there. Louder then stock, but a nice rumble.

Got any video clips?

I've done it. It WILL be too loud and you WILL become a target for blue lights. trust me.

If you do remove both cats, replace them with at least a 12" resonator muffler like a cherry bomb style. they're cheap and flow, but will take the edge off the exhaust note.

Don't do it, you'll drop the freakin car on your head.

[HotRodMercury]

um ok... lol

[ctrlraven]

Shorty headers are a waste of money, just save your pennies and get LT headers!

[HotRodMercury]

yeah I need to do that, if I end up keepin it,
not sure what Iam doing any more lol.

[jonsun1]

i have a question if i renoved the 2nd cats will i get horsepower and would it sound any different.by the way i have flomaster 40 series on my 03 mm.thanks guys 4 your help

[lincolnpimp]

I just purchased the long tube set up from stainless steel works. I got the engine back system. With ceramic coating. $2100.00 to my door. Havent installed it yet.

[DOOM]

I just purchased KOOKS long tube headers jet hot coated high flow cats and all the piping back to the mufflers with a custom X-pipe for $1,950

[duhtroll]

I have no cats. I have shorty headers (which are not a waste of money as they can be had for cheaper than LTH and definitely *DO* add horses). The car is NOT too loud. I like it. I might tone it down some, but it's not because it's overdone - I just like quiet some of the time.

No emissions inspections in IA. :) If they start some, I'll register the car as a collector since it is not a DD and sits in the garage unless it's sunny and above 50 degrees.

I don't know exactly what power increase it has but I noticed better mid-high range power and knocked off .12 off my 1/4 mile time. I also had Flowmaster 40 series. Yes it will be a little louder especially if you have res-delete tips.
