I installed Top Speed's Cat Delete this weekend and IT IS butt dyno APPROVED! I love 'em! They give you a low growl at idle and seem to make the exhaust less restrictive. Can't wait to get the Full Cat Back Exhaust system now!
I understand a few members got sent TWO OF THE SAME SIDE, here's is the definitive way to tell the difference (just in case it happens again)…
This pic shows all the parts the Top Speed Cat Delets come with (the exhaust tubes are facing the wrong side - see how easy it is to do).
When you have the CORRECT PIPES…they will look like this when you rotate ONE OF THEM 180 degrees. Notice that the 3-bolt flanges DO NOT line up! That is how you know you have 2 DIFFERENT PIPES and they ARE CORRECT.
Here is a close up shot of the CORRECT PIPES with ONE ROTATED:
And here is 30 pounds of garbage….(but I'll sell them to pay for Cat Deletes - if anyone needs them)
Make sure you do a "dry fitting". Kenny rightly advised me to loosen the U-Bolts near the back muffler (hit them with PB Blaster FIRST).
Lightly connect the 3-bolt flange, loosen, and then work on getting the back to fit. It was a little off at the muffler but once worked in to place, it bolts up without a problem.
You know how when you blow your nose when you have a cold? For the first minute afterwards you can breathe….that is how my car seems to feel now, "uncongested".
Seems like my Box got rid of the "cold" and CAN BREATHE AGAIN!
My car is 30 lbs. lighter and more responsive at higher RPMs!
