ive wanted to cut my cat off and have it completely straight piped but i was told it would burn my exhaust valves up because i wouldnt have any back pressure. is this true?

no its not true at all. as long as you keep it around 2.5 inches you will be fine.. burning up a valve is when people run to lean and dont correct it.. youll be fine... who ever told you that is retarded..


as far as the welding goes loos almost like a lil 110 flux core...... and to me those welds look scary.. keep practising youll get the hang of it.. standad is if the weld looks "pretty" then usally it mean it will be a strong weld too.
