eliminating the cat
Hey yall i was just wondering there is a practice done around here by people looking for more power out of thier cars. Where they either get a catback and run straight piping orrrrrrrr some performance shops will hollow out the catalytic converter.
My question is what are the ramifications of doing this if any besides it not being street legal and not passing emissions???

I cleared the cat on both my 85 & 90 IROCs. Without adjusting the air\fuel mixture, it actually slowed the cars down. I used Flowmaster mufflers, so the sound was very nice, however, we're talking V8 muscle nice. I doubt it would be worth the effort because the engine doesn't flow enough exhaust to really make a difference. Also, and I've seen this with Corvettes, clearing the cat will change the frequency/resonance of the exhaust and may cause awful audible vibrations in the vehicle that will drone you out at certain rpms. Best wait for tested exhaust systems.
