how to gut out cats/muffler?
as the title says, im contemplating it. after 15 mins of driving the car idled on that hot day a few days back like poo and felt a few horses run away when driving. not to mention how quiet the car was, our minivan is louder!

A gutted cat will give you this weird hollow ringing tone. Just replace it. But if you're set on gutting it, remove it and hammer a long flat head through it, and finish it off with a long prybar.
Don't gut the muffler. lol |
You need to be tuned if you remove/gut the cat. You are better off with a whole new setup, longtubes, ory and catback. Gutting really won't net you anything as the cats are not a restriction with stock manifolds.

^^ A clogged cat is a restriction.

Is his cat clogged? I didnt get that feeling from his first post. Way I read it was something about considering removing the cat, the rest didnt make sense to me.

But ultimately you're right, which I said if it's clogged to just replace it. I gutted the cat on my old camaro and it sounded like ***. |

Next time you take the car for a drive, park it and quickly look at the cat. If the cat is red, it's either restricted or the engine is running rich. |

I believe he's suspecting the cat is to blame for the bad idle, poo, and inability to hold his horses.

WTH is ory? I'm contemplating a new exhaust but want to keep the cat as it is required to pass inspection. Long tube headers, I assume, let you keep the cat and then a nice catback system to go along with it, but wnat is thr "ory"? |
