type tat in google.

1. You do not need to get it tuned
2. You will have a strong gas odor at times, as the fuel will not get burned completely, and the smell will get into the cabin
3. You may very well get the check engine light. Nothing you can do about this as the engine is detecting that you have no cat.
4. If you have an aftermarket cat back exhaust, it will be VERY loud (like obnoxiously loud).

Why you would do this vs. just getting a hi-flow cat is debatable. Might only lose a hp or two, and you won't have the above problem, let alone destroying the environment.

Destroying the environment is the inevitable!

What would be the best midpipe hi-flow cat that could be paired with say teh Borla Exhaust ?

omg.. search

please..

I think there are jerks on this forum who stay online 24/7 so they can be the first to chime in with 'omg search' as if 216 posts ago they werent the same noob we all are.

my question was specifically 'in collaboration with'.....

so if you don't specifically have an answer your post amounted to nothing.

your welcome :)

buying an accessport will resolve your CEL issues when catless. However I am of the opinion that a NA rx8 has no business going catless because it is insanely loud, horrible sounding, and the gains do not justify the means.

wont i get more hp w/o cats tho thats what im looking for the most i just need more hp. for the rx8 will i get more without cats?

yeah. But the gain is so slight you cannot feel it. Even small temp changes will make your car gain/lose more power than that.

youve obviously never heard a rx8 with the racing beat exhaust and a catless midpipe!

The sound is fine with the stock exhaust too, so that isn't saying much.

Most who go catless do it for the sound, expecting that more sound = better. Or that gaining 2 hp will be totally worth it. What they usually end up with is a ricer civic sound and no gains to speak of.

So your telling me when I am bumping Catch Phrases from The Fast and The Furious on my stereo at Voluma 27 I am not increasing my HP?!?!

You will, but pretty much what most people on here are telling you is that for extra 1-2 hp, the tradeoffs might not be worth it.

now i think about it, u want hp? go lose 10 pound, and while at it, take that stereo and sub out of ur car.

Is the spell checker broken?

maybe

sounding like the borla & rp super cat for me, based on all the research done here and everywhere else...

sounds like a nice way to lose $1,000 :)

but but der flamezes

Really, if I drove my car a lot this would not seem worth it. To be honest I dived into this after having a relatively quiet catback + stock cat ~ wanted a drastic change and figured hey, why not. As far as the atmospheric changes, while in the atmosphere portion of Earth Systems class I really began to feel less and less guilty; at least being a catless rotary.

wikipedia says it so it MUST be true:
So, cats are clearly not necessary on our cars. We even meet the Low Emissions Vehicle standars for CA OMGZNOWAY


In case internet sarcasm is not your stronghold, this is a partial joke.

As far as sound, all I can say is above 6700 my ears are in aural heaven...

I am running the HKS single + MS cai with this...

Hey man I'm looking in to the racing beats exhaust and the Resonated Race Pipe, but I don't want it to be to loud when I'm just drive or to have the check engine light on got any info on this?

you'll have the check engine light on unless you have a cobb accessport to hide it for you

but other than that, no the sound is not too loud while driving and you should be fine. do it!
