Chopped cat or muffler?
Owned 3 Rotary cars now, two 7s and I've had my 8 for about 3 months now. A buddy of mine says Strait piping my exhaust would have a hugely noticeable effect on my power, as well as noise output. I'm not concerned with the noise so much, I love loud cars. Question is, is it worth it at all to chop one or both of them off? Will the o2 censor flip a bitch and keep my car from running? Is it a plausible semi0decent alternative to upgrading to a Greddy exhaust kit?
Living in Eugene, Oregon I don't have DEQ to pass, so there are no legal issues with doing this. |
a midpipe/gutting your cat is one of the easiest/cheapest mods for hp but not huge. yes your car will run but most likely throw a cel. the rear o2 sensor is just for emissons and the cel can be masked with a cobb access port. in the future please search as this has been beaten to death.
btw welcome and pics of your cars |
Why chop it? Why bother cutting those pipes and the o2's might be an issue with the check engine light will be on all the time. Anyway, just get a loud exhaust and be done with it.

gutting your cat or using a catless midpipe usually gives you a check engine light (cel). some guys have not gotten this with some midpipes but its rare. using a cobb access port you can mask the cel from not having a cat.
you can buy complete exhausts with a midpipe for $500 and can find used ones for sale here even cheaper |
