You can always consider inserting HFC into the pipes. Or you can insert cats into the Y pipe primaries. There are a number of options for compact cats that most exhaust shops would charge only a $100 a side to weld in.

motordyne has some type of cat thing I think??? I wouldn't bother putting a regular cat back in if you are going to buy the ART pipes, I would rather just do hiflow cats then

nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. I love the ART pipes, one of the best mods ever.

I guess I have to have them to know how bad it is. But I thing I might just go with some HFC's for now, or do those have bad fumes also?

The smell is not that bad, you get used to it after a while.

I have the Berk HFC and the ART pipes in stock. Let me know if you would like some pricing on them.
