My flex pipe on my lsj down pipe broke today. Went to numerous exhaust shops and no one could fix it. My dp is already a 2.5 after market catted dp unsure of what kind but it deff has a high flow cat. My question is since I can't fix the down pipe I'm going to replace it with a zzp since its the best deal but should I go cattles I'm already tuned for the down stream 02 delete and just wanting to free up a bit of power. Also running a 2.5 magnaflow cat back.

 

It'll smell like rotten eggs. if you can deal with it you can go catless. IMO i would just run a highflow cat.

 

I always thought a rotten egg smell came from a cat going bad. Never smelled rotten eggs from removing one. The reason I'm wanting to go cattless is because the dp is cheaper and I'm on limited funds. I could cut my old high flow cat out and put it in the new dp but don't want to molest a brand new dp. Also I don't have strict emission laws in TN so it would never matter. Then on the other hand I don't want my car to be insain loud either

 

It will make it a lot louder and probably raspy too. Go with a catted downpipe

 

Catless!!! Enough said...it will be a lil louder

 

What exhaust do you have?

 

OP said magnaflow.

I'd go with a high flow cat.
I was riding around with a burned out cat for awhile and it was just way to raspy and loud on my megan.
Got another high flow cat, and it's a lot better. No rasp.

 

Ahh thought he got a different exhaust also. I say catless, you'll get more power and if it's to raspy get a larger resonator.

 

Catted would be best. Especially since you have a Magnaflow. You're not gaining much by going catless, except possibly more tickets.

 

Get a cat...

Cars sound so bad without them and the power gain is so minimal.

 

also depends on engine mods as well...mine sounds good and im catless it has a deep sound while others with stock engines sounds shitty catless...it does get loud when u go wot but i rarely do neways

 

go catless, im catless with stock downpipe, stock resonator,an 3" hahn muffler an it sounds like sex!!! its nice an deep

 

So many conflicting opinions I think this is just a case of what the owner likes. Ill just have to test it both ways and see what I like.

 

Pretty much. I'm catless and I hate the sound.

 

Guess I'm going catted bluestreak is selling me a zzp Header and dp for a price I can't pass up
