CatchM3: Catless

Took off my AA High Flow cats and happy with the sound now. Videos below.

Current 'Exhaust' setup:
AA Straight Pipes (no cats) + AA X Pipe + Eisenmann Race Exhaust

That's the first thing I noticed immediately after turning the car on. There is a notable smell difference.

If you drive around with your window down and you stopped at a red light, lets say, you will smell your exhaust. One of the draw backs I don't really like.

Hearing your car is the reason why I want an X-pipe

Sounds even meaner catless!

So was there no noticeable smell with the HFCs?

Congrats!!! That was quick. Just avoid turning the car on and stay behind the car checking your trunk... You'll get smellie all over your clothes.

Other than that, just disturb the peace around town.

We should do a drive & lunch at the Keys soon.

Be careful with the cops, they're becoming harsher about cars w/ no cats. You can't hide the smell.

Are you talking about Cops in CA? In FL rules are different and cops are way less restricted than CA cops. The only time a cop has approached me was to complement my car.

Cops everywhere. My dad lives in FL and he's seen the cops going after newer cars that don't have cats. It's illegal in all 50 states, it's a federal law. Cops gotta make that money for the state government after all.
