Volume does not necessarily equate to performance. Buy decent mufflers instead of s**t off the shelf systems and you'll get better performance and a less annoying sound. In saying that as long as you have any half decent system I doubt you are going to notice much difference between having 1 or 2 mufflers in terms of actual performance when driving, certainly not enough to worry about.

I had 4499's hi flow cat and a manderal 2.5 with one glass pack muffler, the car rummbled at idle and sounded nice through gears until i put my foot to the floor, then she screamed but it wasnt stupid sounding it got louder as the revs got higher, so the faster she went the louder it got, didnt look so d**k, although i could take my foot off whenever and it went quiet again.
As good as it sounded it needed to shut up, like the boys say there not 8's so dont pretend even i thought i must look like a wanker sometimes.....my mother agree's

all depends how its done, my mates 68 xt is only a 6 but sounds like an 8. hes split it in two at the headers 2 hotdogs either side. sounds mean, but its just a cruiser. was gonna do it myself but not much room in the back. but all depends on the setup, and the mufflers of course etc

You can take offence if you like to what I posted but if you or anyone want to run without a cat you deserve what you get. If you are getting it rectified good on you, just seems odd that any exhaust place will leave a cat off when fitting a new exhaust as they are as responsible for the legality of the system under emissions regulations, maybe that is not the way it is in NT. As I said if you are getting it fixed good for you. |

No exhaust shop in the country would ever leave a catalytic converter out of an exhaust installation unless they were instructed to do so by the owner of the vehicle. Same goes for punching the guts of the converter out. What do these kids think? That we are drugged out department of housing dead-s**t just like them? This is on par with the private road drag strip s**t. |
