just fitted some advance extractors with a punched out cat to my ef now my exhaust sounds like absolute crap compared to what it used to would that be because of the hollowed out converter?

I noticed quite a bit if difference after I put my Pacies and high flow cat on. Took me ages to get used to it.
It doesn't sound worse or better, just different. Oh, and I lost the burble and crackle on decelaration too. BenJ

mine sounded ALOT better with extractors/highflow cat, nice and raspy like a 6 should be, i hate that heavy bass fake v8 crap that some people go for.
yeah post a sound clip so we get an idea if its an odd sound. |

Note will change a bit with extractors, but it'd be the cat that makes the most difference.

yeah its a really hollow sound i only used this because it is the shortened one for the extractors as mine was the full length one that goes into the exhaust manifold.

Just buy a high flow cat. That way, you will get the performance gains, and will not be risking the massive EPA fines Just my $0.02 Chris

Its not the sound db that EPA are 'mainly' concerned about, they'll be more interested in the upto- $10,000¿ fines for running a car without a cat. And No, 'I run straight gas' and 'I didn't do and thats how it was how I bought it' doesn't apply The gas could also need a basic tune to give it back its bark.

hollow cat + 6cyl = Wet f@rt noise. good quality high flow cat will be better. also loose the rear muffler and throw a hotdog in, that will sound better.
