I am thinking of putting a cat back system on my 2.2, maybe a Borla Turbo and exit it either b-4 or b-hind the right rear wheel with possibly a z/28 tip,and wondered if anybody has or what would happen if I eliminated the catyalitic converter ? Not e-nuff back pressure, to loud ? I don't want the ricer sound. thanks in advance for any thoughts or help.

I am guessing you wouldn't have enough back pressure and lose power. I think that that would happen.

know of any free flow cats that you could use???!

I x'ed by cat and I got better low end and it didn't mess with the top end. Also got another mile or 2 in gas mileage!!

 

[RawRedX]

you did what?

Simply put

I unbolted it, took a metel rod and handy-dandy hammer and gutted the internals, then bolted it back in place.

My cat is hollow on my 86 S10. Always has been since I've had the truck so I don't know if its helping or hindering

Thanks for the inputL8L

Well......I had my new exhaust put on today and I'm pretty happy with it. Removed the stock system from the cat back (keeping the cat for now) and went with a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler and 2.5 inch piping from the cat,to the muffler,and out the back with a 3 innch dia.chrome tip that angles down on the right corner.Has a nice mellow sound under power but not to loud when cruising.
