The valves are open and i get pops here and there, but not as loud as i would like for a car like this..
What would you guys reccomend to make this car sound a bit better? In the past i have cut resonators/cats but not sure if thats the best option on this car
Do not buy a full exhaust system before seeing if a secondary cat delete is enough tone and volume change to make you happy. Super cheap in comparison, should cost $200 or less depending on the exhaust shop.
Hello all , prolly gonna get flamed for this but ??? After getting car up on stands and removing all under car covers and getting a good look at exhaust I realized replacing the cat back won't do much.
the stock system with valves open is straight thru, so by adding a system the only more sound achieved would be with valves closed and exhaust going thru muffler. Some weight savings yes but at 5 k for a meisterschmitt ? Those are beautiful but covered with shrouding front to back.
I been involved in metal work for 35 years and resorted to remove rear bottom half of cat covers then cut cat open , remove contents weld back together. All that's needed is tig welder, die grinder ,dermal tool.
You would have to be able to differentiate between the factory sloppy mig weld and my tig weld to see anything.
Big difference , much better sound all the way around ,

This is exactly why I advise folks not to buy a full system, because it's a waste of money on our cars. Cutting out the cats, or your stealthy method to removing them, is really the best option and costs almost nothing.
