will a 3.8 sound better with the converter removed? or will it be crappy. i also heard you get more power with them removed because of the increase in airflow. i have an 80 series flowmaster on my camaro(i think, i know it's flowmaster).

 

80's series is made for camaros so im sure thats what you have. But You cant really ask a question like that. Because Its all peoples opinions. My opinion is yes it keeps it restricted to a 3" pip instead of opening up to like 6" wid and 4" high.

 

My opinion is no. It will sound like ****. I installed my 80 series system without a cat. It sounded so-so. The cat acts as a dampener. It takes the buzzing and popping out of the sound. After I installed the cat, it sounded MUCH better.

That, and it's one hell of a fine ($50,000.00) if the EPA ever catches on.

 

haha. the area in which i live in kentucky is like a joke when it comes to law enforcement. doubt the huge fine. i probably won't do it though, i like how it sounds now, so i shouldn't change it i guess. it would be my luck that it would shound like crap. but i've heard the 3.4s with the 80 series and no converter, and they had a more deep rumbling sound to them. another quick question while still on this subject.is the increase in airflow from cutting the converter off really that noticeable?

 

Not so much. In non-racing applications it really won't be noticed.
