And the cat-delete begins!

I guess I can't imagine the sound without mufflers in these cars. Tonight we were coming home from dinner with the top down . I came up on a pick up truck doing 45 in a 55 mile zone. Came up to the passing lines and pulled out an hit the peddle. I could not believe the sound nor seeing the needle hit 90 in a flash. I have the performance exhaust option and when it opens up it is louder than I like but makes the drive fun. Then when you put the top up and cruise at 70 it is quiet inside. Great feature but I couldn't take the drone of no mufflers at 70 mph for an hour or two.

Just an update, the car is EXTREMELY loud now without cats, and locating the sensors as far back as I could I'm getting the codes. Ordered some of the cel fixers from bigdaddiesgarage so I'll let you all know if that solves that problem. I'm also making a bit less boost now, about 1 psi down but the car feels just as quick. I am going to get an x pipe put on and remove both silencers and put the factory rear muffler back on and see how I like the sound of that

not yet, the code hasnt come back yet. I did however put the stock muffler back on, and deleted the valves in it. It back to sounding just how I like it, albeit a bit loud for the average persons taste probably. This is just a temp fix until I get the cash together to do a Velocity Performance cat back system.

Im working on putting up some pics, having some technical difficulties with photobucket at the moment. Can you guys post pics of your custom cats?
Also, I located my sensors after the first silencer box in the factory exhaust. I bought the bigdaddies 90 degree CEL fixers but havent installed them yet, as I havent needed to yet. If the codes come back I will install them, and if they come back again after those I will buy the minicats and use both. But so far, so good. I do want to put some sort of cats back on though, both to quiet it down and because it just seems like it runs better with some backpressure. I still am down about 1 psi of boost as compared to with the factory cats.

I thought it looked like their stuff! I was looking at just their cats on ebay and then found their website...I was going to order all the stuff to do it myself but if they can do it even better!

Well evidently when they built your cats they didn't make a jig or do a scan or anything. So they can't make em for me unless I bring the car in. That's a bit of a drive......
