I cut my muffler off at my cat and i hear stuff rattling around in there, i was curious if anyone had gutted the cat with no muffler (so Basically running open header, just wondering if anyone had a done this before with negative consequences or had any advice for me

 

I'm old school, but I'd say good bye to your valves.

 

+1.....

 

If it is loudness you are looking for, there are a number of good loud mufflers out there. Sounds good and easier on your motor. When I put on my headers I ran it straight out of the headers for about 10 min then I put on the rest of my exhaust. I wouldn't continuously run without the rest of the exhaust though.

 

It won't hurt anything, you'll just look like a mouth breather.

 

i just dont have the cash for new exhaust right now and i want to make sure my cat isnt clogged its kinda down on power right now, i need to do the plentum plate too im just waiting for my tax return for these things i just wont be able to afford new exhaust for quite some time

 

i have been running with no muffler for like six months now, but the cat is still there

 

i just cant afford a new muffler right now got to much other stuff i have to do to it im just tired of hearing the rattling around in the cat

 

You can pick up a thrush turbo for less than $30. A thrush glasspack for less. I replaced my muffler in like 30 mins. Got a 2-1/2" in/out thrush turbo, one 2-1/2" x 4" extension and 3 clamps for less than $50.

 

I used to have a thrush glass pack and I second that. Cheap, sounds good and easy to install.
