Maybe it's too loud for him and wants to put the stock muffler on but have a deleted cat and resonator still? I was thinking about doing this with my car but I would have just got the whole mid-pipe section made and skip the dump.
For sure. But I prefer having the stock stuff to bolt up if I get tired of the sound. Meh this is too much work for more noise. Maybe I'll just do the muffler delete lol
Purely to have the exhaust exit at the back. I don't know if that would lessen any noise or vibration inside the cabin, though. If it wouldn't then I will just leave it be.
Lucky.
Off the record I assume as it's illegal.
No, definitely illegal.
Of course.
Yes. I refer to open exhaust as no restrictions past the header (or turbo). So basically, no cats/resonators/mufflers.
I had a resenator, plus it already had no cats, removed in my Accord when I lived in FL (it was so low, it got ripped open on a reflector in the road). OEM exhaust kept it from being a fart machine. They just put a piece of pipe there, no questions asked.
If the car was already missing the CAT, then of course there is no issue. Legally, exhaust shops (or any shop for that matter) are not allowed to remove a catalytic converter or face up to a $25,000 fine.
