    Gutting The Pre-Cats - Any Last Advice?

    I am gutting the pre-cats and the catalytic converter tommorow with a mechanic and I need to know if anyone has any last minute from experience advice. I have a 2001. Thanks.

    1) It will be VERY loud with your Flowmaster & drone alot on the highway.
    2) At least 2 persons at CEG have shown power loss from gutting main cat as it slows velocity. Better to remove cat & place a straigh pipe (or 4" resonator - to help with noise) if visual emmision checks are of no concern.

    He's talking about gutting the pre-cats, not gutting out the catalytic convertor itself.

    Ah, missed the second half of his post, the title of the thread threw me off. Duh me. Thanks Edge.

    Exigent- I have read the directions... but I searched on the How-To's and couldn't find anything. Is your How-To detailed directions?
