Default Short headers-= cats=-Corsa Now I want to get rid of the cats

I have Shorties then there is a pipe with high flow cats then it hooks up to Corsa cat back. Who sells just the pipes that go between the shorties and the Corsa, not cats just a pipe? Or should I just have some bent up.

why?

The cats are not robbing you of any power.

If you were adding shorties, then considering the removal of the cats, why in didn't you just do LTs?

Oh, and I like clean air for street driven cars.

So....to answer your question - I'd probably have some new pipes mandrel bent. *However* - I have to agree with bogus - the high flow cats are robbing you of very little power... They *may* be suppressing some sound, so if that's your concern, so be it. Anything else, though, and I'd consider it throwing money away.

I know that one of them is cloged, the left side and I'm just puting something in between untill I can afford getting LT's and some new cats. So I just wanted to see if anyone was selling a pipe like this, I talked to the guy who would bend the pipes and $100 would get it done. Not to expensive to get rid of the clog.

Get some custom pipes bent. It will cost about $100 bucks.

Just get ready for a large jump in noise level. I heard a lt1, lt, corsa setup and it was insane in the loudness of volume...

Actually I could probably just gut the cats and use the pipes that are on the car, that way even if a cop stops me it would still appear as though I have cats. Just seems like a shame to wreck the cat that's working on the passangers side.
