im getting my exhaust system done at a shop and someone told me if i take the catalytic converter out you will loose some torque. is this true? if it is then how much horse power would a performance catalytic converter give you.....thanks

I'm not asking to be convinced. I'm just asking? Is it entirely true?

So you're not sure it's entirely true... therefore you want me to convince you with some facts... right? Umm... how's common sense? What does "muffler" mean?

Well, with no muffler often comes backfire. That kind of backfire can't be good for performance.

You don't know too much about performance, I take it from you posts. Just lisson to the guys who know things and have done things. Kwanza knows most everything you could ask about cars. And believe me, I've tested him, he knows. Trust that guy, and when he says the best performance muffler is no muffler, he is right. Look at some of his other posts. The only time I've seen him be wrong is when he's talking about drifting, the man doesn't know jack about FF cars drifting. lol, I'm just kidding.
