Exhaust Question!!!

[InnerCircleVP]

I cut my exhuast off after my Cat and haven't put a new muffler on yet. Its not that I'm a cheap ass, I have the muffler, just haven't had time to get it all done. Is that gonna screw up anything on my car, or will it be fine untill I get my new stuff??? Also, whats the best way to get the loudest exhuast sound without messin #@%#@%#@%#@% up. Thanks...

Apart from setting fire to the bottom of your car, you'll probably be fine. Carry a large fire extinguisher with you, and don't drive more than a block or two away from the beach if you can avoid it.

get a full 3" turbo back exhaust w/o a cat, you can do no muffler if you like, but i'd at least do a muffler... also, get an O2 dump tube, those things are hella loud!

Thanks, when you say 3" turbo back exhuast are you talking about a straight pipe off the manifold. I was told that taking out the cat was gonna mess up stuff on my car so I was leary about doing so. Where would I get a O2 dump tube as well. I dont' know much about that kind of stuff and not sure even what the O2 is, . Thanks for the help and any further help would be great....

from the 02 housing. And you have a sensor that will tell you to check your engine if you remove the cat. Thats the only problem. You can get around this easy but I dont remember how as I dont have to worry out it.

Yea I was told I could hook up a computer to the ECU and clear the check engine light but I just didn't want any engine problems.

there was something in a vfaq on how to make that CEL go away after you removed your cat if i remember right.
