im gonna order a zzp downpipe for my tc today. i have a stock exhaust and im wondering will it be loud if i go catless ? or should i just go with a highflow cat. i dont want my car loud and i dont want it loud on the inside at all. i watched some vids but you cant really determine what it sounds like because its a camera and its placed basically ontop of the exhaust in every vid lol

 

Nice tone 3k an up an will smell like ****

 

yeah catless can smell really shitty lol

 

catless smells great haha, and it wont be too loud.

 

catless is nice with stock catback

 

I approve this message.

 

I concur.

 

Yeah man i have the turbo xs catless downpipe with stock cat-back its not that loud just driving around but when you get on it it has a nice tone and it does have some smell with it. All in all I would recommend it.

 

cut off your muffler for an even better sounding exhaust.
thats what i did. catless and mufflerless.

 

Catless don't smell that bad

 

so can you smell it inside? and i dont want my car to sound like a civic with a massive muffler on it i want it to be quiet but powerful


im just tired of the loud exhaust type my old 2.2 had a catback magna flow and it did sound good but i just got tired of it and dont want anything like that anymore thats why i wanna know if a catless downpipe will be loud and would a highflow cat be much quieter?

i wanna sound stock at low rpms if its possible

 

No you can not smell it inside just if your outside of your car while it's running it does not sound that different at low rpms compared to stock but when you get on it it will be louder then stock but it's a good tone and I don't know about a highflow cat but I'm guessing if you want quiet with more power then that is probley the way to go

 

i have a full mpx system with cat and it smells a little funny. and i do smell it in the car a bit.

 

i have bad mab catless and i have no smells car sounds same as stock when crusing. it just has a nice tone when hitting boost

 

Ditto.

 

Catless with the stock muffler is what you want. Quite and more power that catted.

 

maybe it only smells because i just put it on and the cat and stuff has to break in

 

I <3 the smell of a catless downpipe in the morning

 

Yeah if anything the nice smell of unburnt fuel smells good!

 

Does it really smell that bad?...

 

Id compare it to a hot dirtbike lol. It doesnt bother me thou

 

Mine's catless and it can be pretty stinky :P I'm also mufflerless and it has a nice tone, but it is loud when you get on it. I think with the stock catback, you'll be fine soundwise. Definately ain't no ricey honda sounds from turbo balts.. it don't matter what exhaust you put on it imo.

 

what like 2hp more?

 

Yes, the car is a little stinky with out the cat. Yes, it is a slight bit louder than stock at idle but with a deeper tone until you get on it. Also, the 2nd to 3rd no lift shift with a cat-less down pipe w/ a stock cat-back sounds like a shot gun blast! Very fun lol!
