what to do with my catted downpipe?
 
Well I ordered a cattless 3" helix downpipe, and a catted downpipe came in the mail.

Well I was wondering if there is a big difference between the two. Thank you for your help.

You might want to check on the difference in pricing at the very least. . . :P

Anyhoo, the general idea behind going with catless piping is to have a more freely-flowing exhaust. So yeah, the catted pipe will probably be a bit more restrictive.

Call 'em up!

Jake 2007-03-21 09:14 PM

Yah, I will try calling them up tomorrow. I was just hoping to hear that I got a sweet deal haha!!!

M3n2c3 2007-03-21 09:23 PM

That's a possibility, but I have no experience buying downpipes. :lol:

you did get a sweet deal. the difference is <1-2 hp. the high flow cats really are high flow.

If you paid for a catless pipe and got a high flow catted version, you scored. The difference in performance will be negligible and you won't have to deal with the noise, smell, polution of being catless.

Yep. Lucky you. Install that bish.

keep the cat for good of the penguins!

Jake 2007-03-24 07:48 AM

Yep, I did install that bish, and I feel better about penguins all around the world haha.

Wow it was a big pain in the butt though. I destroyed the threads on the O2 sensor, I had to unplug the sensor, and take it out with the stock down pipe, and then I took a torch to it so it would expand, vicegripped the nut and wacked the grips with a hammer until it came out...... yah, it was a crazy nite. In the end, I got it done, and with my acces port, I made my car fun to drive again!!!

This... scares the shit out of me... Hell, I don't really even know what you meant here, but clamping a pair of vice grips on an 02 sensor and then beating it with a hammer=not good for the sensor...
