Yea it is called a test pipe they are all over ebay

MINTSICK · 10-04-2007, 11:00 AM

On ebay yes, but why do you want to do this?

greencactus3 · 10-04-2007, 11:47 AM

News Flash if it ain't a v-8 it ain't gonna sound like a v-8

stepsideSdime · 10-04-2007, 12:46 PM

yah im going for a etter exhaust sound which i know this will do. however is there anyway of doiung this without throwing codes and still achieveing the same sound without paying 250 bucks for a high flow cat

colbye32 · 10-04-2007, 12:49 PM

i got a hollowed out cat and a super 40 on mine, throws codes like everyday. how can i make it not do that without paying 250. kinda got the same prob. as stepsideSdime vbmenu_register("postmenu_4518727", true);

stepsideSdime · 10-04-2007, 12:50 PM

another guy told me i should just buy a new cat to smog with and just remove and gut the one i have, sleeve a piece of piping through it and bolt it back up. that sound like a good idea and will this throw codes. im trying to not throw codes at all cost but still achieve what im looking for

zoideraserb · 10-04-2007, 01:16 PM

i've heard of puttin a sparkplug non-fouler on the oxygen sensor behind the cat and it keeping it from throwing codes, idk if it works i've just heard a few ppl doing it.

yes it will throw codes...
you need to get an o2 sim, or the antifouler method.. again, ive never seen it done, but i have heard it works

stepsideSdime · 10-04-2007, 07:10 PM

where do i get an 02 simulator for an 2.2 and how do i gut my cat?

onecrazynoma · 10-04-2007, 11:13 PM

MINTSICK · 10-05-2007, 03:38 PM

And fail the OBDII diagnostics test for emissions...

onecrazynoma · 10-05-2007, 04:39 PM

thats why you wait untill you smog it

stepsideSdime · 10-06-2007, 02:11 PM

does anybody know....if a test pipe has a hole for the o2 sensor will it still throw codes?

Yes, it will....

onecrazynoma · 10-06-2007, 06:24 PM

yes its saying "hey stop polluting you greedy motherfugger" takes bulb out

S15vortecpwr · 10-07-2007, 06:13 PM

My cat is gutted on my 01 2.2 and it throws a cat fault every day. I can clear it and it comes right back on. I am going to try the non-fouler trick. I live in ALABAMA and we have no emission laws.

onecrazynoma · 10-07-2007, 07:54 PM

somewhere i read somebody just took the post cat o2 out and ziptied it outta the way. so its just in clean open air. never tryed it though

onecrazynoma · 10-07-2007, 07:55 PM

or have pcm4less turn the code off

seafarer12 · 10-09-2007, 11:37 PM

There is a post about this same subject like every couple of days. How do I get my (2.2, 2.5, 2.8,4.3, etc) to sound (like a V8, deeper, like it has a pair, etc)? Does search not work for anyone else.
As far as for this post either shell out the money for a new cat or live with a check engine light.
