anyone runnin a catless down pipe on their 2.2? im thinking bout ordering one if its not gonna cause any kinda problems with the way the car runs..

 

it will.

 

my friend has a catless dp on his EVO and it makes it smell bad, and ive got another friend whos got one on his 2500HD truck and it smells bad AND! he lost a ton of torque(backpressure problem)


but it'll sound dope!

 

lol well im not lookin for the sound of it.. im wantin the power from it.. i know it makes em smell bad too.. it makes some cars smell like a wet fart goin down the road.. lol but since its gonna make me lose power or make it run like **** then i'll just get a high flow cat down pipe then..

 

get like a gmpp header(if you dont have it already) and maybe like the zzp highflow cat dp...

 

Me and my buddy just installed a catless dp on his SVT and it changed his car quite a bit, the sound is awsome and it pops like my cobalt does. Deffinatly and improvement, we also installed accessory pullys which is suposed to help quite a bit.

 

what kinda svt you talkin bout? focus mustang contour?

 

i'm guessing the focus.

to complete the answer, with any non OEM downpipe, i'd suggest a CEL eliminator. i hear you need to "clearance" the body a bit, but it'll save you a lot of agg.

i actually happen to have an extra catless DP laying around here...

 

how does a cel eliminator work?

 

click me.

 

i'll have to check into doin that.. looks like it would work..

 

holy hell no dont buy that, you can make oneo urself, goto a local autozone, buy some spark plug non foulers, and use both of them, use them on eachother, so twist one into the other, this will create the base of it, now the bottom end can go into ur dp, and the iside part is where the o2 will go in, also, you wil need a 1/2 inch drill bit and drill the inner diameter of the new 1 piece assembly all the ti'll half way before you hit the end of the bottom one, that will make clearance for the o2 to sit on, i saw it all done on a s2k forum, its called the mechanical o2 simulator or some shi like that, its sappose to work, exhaust depot has that built in to their dp

 

thanks i'll check that out too..if all else fails i'll just get a high flow cat and down pipe..

 

Get a Highflow cat otherwise you might not like the sound of your exhaust anymore.

 

yeah i was thinkin it might be kinda raspy without a cat on it.. im gettin duals after i get a header and down pipe so im hopin to get a deep sound from it..
