Hey guys is there any negative effects concurred by gutting the cats??

Not sure but i gutted mine last night but havent ran it yet.

Also whats gains are to be had by gutting them

1 or 2 HP at best with a fair amount of heat reduction back there. The design of the pipe after the cat is terrible. You'll see when you gut it.

I dont think a cat delete is going to change things enough to really need a tuner, although if you open up the intake and do the cat delete it would probably be a good idea to have one.

Did the k n make a difference?

Intake meaning a full system that is an improvement over stock. I wouldn't consider a filter swap a mod worthy of a tuner paired with a gutted cat or cat delete.

Sorry just to clarify iam planning on building a 3/4 system along with a k&n filter

 

[sloppy box]

Well I gutted my cats....that stuff definitely doesn't fall out...WOW I beat the sh$ t outta it!!

 

[AReed]

I use a drill bit and drill in as far as I can and them use a chisel in the air hammer and go to town. It's a pain.

I'm to assume the pipes have to come off to get this crap out of the cats, correct? When I was growing up, we owned an exhaust shop. We would cut the exhaust pipe behind the cat, ram a crowbar in there to bast the ceramic up, then start the engine to blow it out. I'm just wondering if it can be done this way or if it has to be removed to bust out the junk. I've got HMF slips ons on mine. Does it make it louder at all cleaning them out?

Thanks!
Buster
