Tomorrow I'm going to get some custom exhaust pipe made for my celica. I was wondering how much louder it would be without cat. I am gonna have 2 1/4 in piping with no resonators and a muffler. Also, I heard that if you dont have a cat there will be a very noticable smell indicating you dont have one. Third, would it give me any hp gains since the midpipe would now be 2 1/4 Last, how easy would it be for a cop to tell that you dont have one. I live in alabama and we dont have to go through any emissions or vehicle inspections

When racing, I'm sure it is, but when you're daily driving and not staying in the high RPM range all the time, don't you want more torque? If your exhaust is too big and you're running a naturally aspirated setup, I've read from so many sources that torque suffers from lack of backpressure. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
