#29114, "Exhaust popping after installation of gutted cat/straight pipe?"
I just got a chance to install my gutted cat-converter today. It was a PITA to get the bolts off, even with air tools. After the cat was installed, I noticed that my turbo seems to spool up a little quicker; the exhaust got just a bit louder (more rumble); acceleration on the freeway seems to be quicker.
When I punch it, sometimes I get a "pop" (after burn) from the exhaust. For you guys with a straight pipe or gutted cat, does this happen to you? Just curious.
