when i found this out, i just bought test pipes. to remove the metal material, you would have to cut the cat open and reweld it back together afterwards
hmmm... interesting.

This is a neat idea.. Best bang for your buck.

The cat concept is interesting. Do you still pass emissions?

No loss in power at all, if anything you do get a slight gain but the noise is really where its at. I think I am going to wait until after winter for the K&Ns tho. They will be starting to salt around here and the dust can be easily sucked up by less restrictive filters.

Used a big drill bit to start a hole, then used a saws all (reciprocating saw). Took less than 5 mins per box lol

Yeah its just the side facing you, think about the way the air would flow in...straight from the front of the car
