Hi all
I have the Sean Roe side exit kit with 2000 headers and HF cats..
If i took them out how much louder would it be?Will it be a different note all together? Also would it pop more on over run?
Thanks :2tu: :2tu:

Much louder, especially over 3k, smelly, objectionable and generally anti-social. :headbang: :2tu:

No smell here, No cats, 3" exhaust and 23" dynomax bullit mufflers.... Hey!!!!!!!! SNAKBIT stole my exhaust!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Plenty of night time flames, popping and EXTREMELY loud at WOT. I love it the first 15 minutes, but after 4 hours it starts hurting the ears. Expecially when combined with 300HP nitrous shot...

I had the system for 2 years, so I quess its not that bad?

I had a piece welded in. The guy who did it clamped both ends to tables so when he cut out the cat nothing moved and the alignment stayed perfect.

Sounds like a Harley on accelleration, jet fighter on decelleration.
Extremely loud.
Will post some more pics and a sound clip over the weekend.

I agree no cats sound great on the Gen I's.

No cats on mine and Borla mufflers, with Edelbrock long tube headers.

You will probably pick up a few ponies too.

Another advantage.....the sills run much cooler than even hi flo cats. Get thee gone oh cats of hades. If the Skunk runs without cats, it must be good ;)

I should have known that the pipes would have something to do with chrome :rolleyes: :smirk: Think the Vec2 will be interesting on Bling, keen to see how that works out.
