taking off cat? good or bad idea

sorry another exhaust question. but my friend said if i take off my cat it sounds real good with the apexi n1 muffler is this true or not. will it be real ricey. thanks again for the help

First off, it's illegal. No shop will do it. Put just the muffler on. Should be enough noise for you. If it's not, remove the resonator. If that's not loud enough, you're deaf.

i thought it was illegal but i wasnt sure. thanks for the help.

A high flow catalytic converter is probably the answer you're looking for. They don't cost too much, flow better and have just a slight kick in noise, but aren't illegal.

A removed cat is illegal where they check emissions and can make it quite a bit louder. Friend of mine put a straight pipe in place of his cat on his Integra LS and it was noticeably louder - he already had a muffler and header. He put his cat back on. I would have too. :p

LMFAO

yea and shops will do it well in some areas where there is no smog testing

but dont do it a honda cat flows very well but if you feel its not enough get a catco one.

Never say never, none, or any other absolute. There is always an opposite. Its like those true or false questions. Anyhow to the point. The shop that did my custom exhaust actually asked me if i wanted to take my cat off. Thats in south carolina though, but it is a "shop" and they would do it.
