Hey i was just wondering if i were to remove the catalytic converter if it would add any horse power? or what about getting a "Y" pipe before the cat. so i can still have the cat. but have it go straight out when i want to race?

Holy thread revival Batman!
How much louder depends on a lot of variables, but the smell of raw exhaust is enough for me to leave them in place. Back in the day when they were crudely implemented and they clogged if you looked at them funny yes there were gains to be had, but ever since the late 80's/early 90's or so they really haven't imposed much restriction. Nowadays on a 400+ hp car they might result in a 1 hp loss if that, so why is it people still remove them on a new car is beyond me. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
