For the guys that done it or seen the Inside of a maverick cat , is it as easy as unbolting the cat set up and punching them out ? Easy to get in the one side but not the other ? Does it just fall out after breaking it up or stuck on the sides ? Will it all come out easy so u won't clog the mufflers ? Thx

I am doing that this Friday. It sounds easy. As long as the cat is metal I can weld I will cut it open, rip out guts and weld it shut.

You don't have to cut or weld it. Unbolt it from the big resonator chamber and knock it out and bolt it back up, I haven't done it, but I have taken the exhaust apart. The huge canister is the resonator the small part before it is the cat.

Really? I would have guessed the other way around.

 

[RBRK]

Ya. It isn't the big canister it's tiny before it

Its the little one right after resonator, and before mufflers.

 

[Benzo]

Yes please pics mega !!

So those big can things are not the cats the cat is only at the end where it goes into 1 and back out to two outlets ?

YES!!!! The big cans are hollow, they act as resonators...

cool man thx


did u feel that the part u knocked out of the cat , was blocking off the air flow pretty good ? or u don't see it blocking much air flow

Just got done removing the cat. Real easy to get off machine,a little harder cutting out the tin inside. It takes some work but comes out. Maybe some have better tools for it than others i just used hammer long screwdriver and tin snips. No real difference in sound seems to smell a little more and no codes yet. Sorry no SOP dyno yet.

I decided rather than mess with this thing,I'll just install a new muzzy.
However, I will be keep the stock set up just in case barney the law man wants to hassle me.

I got a smokin deal on the Muzzy and the digi-tune. Muzzy didnt have the black mufflers in stock.
So I went elsewhere and saved $ 225.00. SWEET!

I made cat delete pipes rather then to "break out" the cat. A little louder, but no power gains.

You wont get a check engine light cause the 02s are in front of the cat.

 

[Chippy]

It definately seems to rev more freely now.

when u removed the insides, did it seem like the stock cat restricted the flow u think ? thx

tight honeycomb ? but straight thru ?

 

[Chippy]

Yup. Tight and would probably get worse over time. Glad i did it easy mod and in no way the cat would help performace also noticing less heat now from that area. Someone should take a temp reading before and after. Exhaust i think is a little more throat to it as well.

 

[Benzo]

ok thanks for the info
