Hollowing Out Stock Cat's?
I've been looking at replacing the stock mid-pipe, but b4 i spend $3-500 on a quality stainless mid-pipe, I'd like to try removing the cat material from the original mid pipe. I see no real easy way of doing this, other than cutting the cat's open & removing the material, then welding them back up. My question is, has anyone done this? And if so, were you pleased w/the sound? Any & all suggestion-comments appreciated.

A guy in my town has a black stang that he hollowed out the cats. It sounds good at idle but sounds more and more like ass as rpm increase. You are better off replacing the midpipe. Non-stainless versions are much cheaper than 3-500 dollars (off road).

That's also what I was thinking, At A higher r.p.m. the resonance may be too much. Another option I was thinking of, was when cut apart, I could weld in a perforated tube, hence turning it into a resonator of sorts w/out the glass packing, or w/I guess.
Thanx Frito.. |
Check on ebay, you always find deals there....i'm sure you could pick up a new o/r midpipe for about $150 bucks.. :)

Dont do either one it will sound very bad.Just get the MT X.

Well that solves that. I'll be purchasing the Magnaflow OR X pipe I guess. Thanx for all the replies.
