I don't think I'd mess with cut-outs or omitting the cats either. Speculation is that by 2014 there will be federal emission standards (inspections) based on CARB specs. Meaning A) states that currently do not have inspections will and B) no cats or even the ability to bypass cats will fail...
Funny, cuz I gave it 5yrs about 4yrs ago. So I'd be like a year or 2 off. That'd be a huge manuevure as well for Gov't to overpower individual states on something like thst but I always thought it could/should happen.
While I can pass inspection with cats removed in my strict state, not having them smells and burns your eyes and they dont offer any big HP increases. Cutouts actually lose low end torque in vehicles with free flowing exhausts already. You only gain if you have a 3ft stock muffler on.
Yeah but theres nothing like opening them up and letting her roar when that little Honda with the 2 stroke dirtbike muffler pulls up next to you revving it up.
I don't give 2 ***** about emissions lol! I'm friends with a dude who owns a lube and oil type shop and they do inspections, I walk in tell him I need an inspection, he then fills out the info on the sticker, puts it on the windshield, then I pay and go home. I could have a f-ing missle launcher attached to the roof!
another great upgrade is to replace as many ground cables on your truck with 8 guage wires. or that blue box thing they reviewed on gearz with stacy david and he said for 55 buck he got better fuel economym better throttle response, lil more power. it a box that hook to your positive and negative and has 4 lil screens that shows you what goin on. not a gimmik. it works if stacy david says it does. or how about whistle tips, lol. eversince i put my spectre filter on my inlet box my truck whistles goin down the road.
Yea but the compressor will be a another 200 or so. Plus the mounting brackets and all that stuff. It adds up. My friend has one and I've looked into it
