the oval piece in the center of the exhuast after the downpipe ypipe but before the muffler....is the cat? and if I were to remove it will it make it louder? or is that a resonator that most cars have to restrict flow and resonate the sound like on maximas???

 

I believe that is the cat converter. if you remove it, the exhaust tone will get louder BUT it will NOT pass inspection. happened to me on my civic.

 

....there are 2 cats ...before the Y pipe.

That IS the center resonator. And, it will make it raspy and sound like crap to remove it.

 

resonator is in the midpipe

 

how raspy? on other exhuast's when i had them removed the sounded great

 

its not that bad at all..mine is raspy for the first 5 minute of driving..maybe even less..

after that it goes away

 

sounds a lot louder tho righT? i hate how its only good at like 1,500-2800rpms and then the sound dies out...i want it to be throaty all the way....on my old maxima i removed it and same thing....stock was good till 3k about and then after it went to redline but got a little more raspy but not bad

 

its deeper and noticeably louder (to me at least)

but its not a huge/significant change in loudness..

tone is deeper and slightly louder

 

does it still cut out tho at 3k rpms?
