- i think is Less low end torque if your not putting out enough hp. Just like having too big of exhaust. Anyone?
Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related. Step 1: Put down everything in your hands. Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it. Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you. If not. Go here: here
If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

If you're n/a, gutting the cat will probably improve your high end flow a little, but you'll lose a little torque in the low to mid rpm's.
If you're turbo'd, then the gutted cat will allow the turbo to spool up a little quicker. Gutting the cat-converter is a cheaper alternative to a straight pipe; however, a gutted cat isn't as good as a test-pipe.
A gutted cat is like a "cooling" chamber when compared to a straight pipe. A test pipe is a little better because it has a smaller diameter, thus keeping the exhaust heat hot, and hot air travels faster than cooler air.
