High-Flow Cat Question....
 

Really n00b question but..

I have been reading that High Flow cats give out an unpleasant exhaust smell. How bad is it?

I know its "Illegal" for street use :driving:. If its fun its more than likely illegal.

I plan on doing the popular bolt ons within a few weeks. IE: Stillen Intake, High Flow Cat, & Exhaust.

Suggestions??

As long as you're in your car, and not standing behind it, smells just fine.

They don't smell bad, it's the test pipes that smell bad.
I think they are a few popular bolt on's
Berk HFC
Stillen GEN 3 long tube intakes
Berk CBE or F.I. CBE
Thats whats selling

Thanks for the rapid replys

its not illegal, it's still a catalytic converter.

only illegal if you pull it out completely....lol

Can I piggyback on this thread? I don't want to start a new one.

Has anyone here ever gutted a HFC? I'd imagine you just end up with a resonated test pipe of sorts?

Knock yourself out...

In certain states it is illegal to change the stock cat.

Humm.. good idea, what about the backpressure change? Loss of power?

Meh...

When I got busted for running an Off-Road X-pipe on my Mustang I bought two cheap cats, sliced them open, removed the guts, and JB-welded them around the O/R X. Painted my welds silver and convinced my dad I installed HFCs. :)

Sorry, I thought your questions was answered. My apologies.

Maybe it came out wrong.. I meant, "Go for it man"
