Re: straight pipes

You'd get a little better air flow, but no huge power difference. It would sound pretty good though. ;-)

Re: straight pipes

It is illegal here in California, becuase we have such strict laws about smogging vechicls. I dont know how it is in your state, but it could effect you not passing smog. Of course it will sound cool though.

Well in my area I truly wouldn't know I know its illegal not to have a cat on the car (which I don't have) the part that may be bad is that without that cat it'll never pass emmissions and u can't get a tag and therefore can't drive it but there are no emissions in my county so I'm great =)

Re: straight pipes

I have straights on my '94 9C1, with no cats. Illegal as hell, but that's how I bought it. Only thing I hear is that the loss of backpressure might cause damage to valves and lifters. That's another question I'm going to post here soon.
