Precat delete sound at cold start up.
Does the car always sound funny when its cold starting up? I read about it misfiring so the cats will heat up faster. After I installed the pre cats, the car sounds horrible for about 15 seconds then sounds normal after that. no leaks, plugs were recently changed as well with all maintenance.

Yes, the engine does have a distinctly different sound (rough, unrefined sound) during the first 30 seconds upon a stone cold start-up. Here is mine during a cold start (PCD with oem catback). Horrible sounding??? I love the sound. But then again, I live on another planet than most other people.

Even mine, with just the jpipe, stage III and stock rear does this for 30 seconds. Sounds like an exotic car...but you know...maybe a little less pricey and fast
Got it Veg...
DANG...I think I'd LOVE an excuse to be FORCED to to the PCD's...but not having to replace them makes $300 seem like a lot...having to spend $800 for oem does NOT.

I didn't have any problems with removing them or installing them, even the back one. its pretty simple and basic.
