Default Need Exhaust shop East Atlanta that will do Catless

I'm not sure what brand headers or even the size. There supposed to be the best LPE sells. Upon research LPE sales AR, LG, Kooks, but none of their own???

I was underneath looking at them and the CATS are welded to the X-Pipe . So I think I need a shop that will cut and patch what I have. I don't want to order any sleeves for fear I'll get the wrong stuff.

Anybody know a shop that will cut cats off and can make a sleeve?

I don't even think the Cummings shops will do that, and its a real long drop off to Cumming anyways.

Don't think any shop will risk the EPA fine for removing one.
Check with Magic Muffler - maybe you can convince them its for off road use

The whole remove the cat and splice in a sleeve is going to be near impossible to get anyone to do.

That leaves me with getting another xpipe with catless sleeves. This way I can just swap by the bolts and have the cats if ever needed.

I found out that the headers have a 3" flange and the x-pipe could be a corsa 2.5" to mate to the TI catback.

Anybody got an offroad Xpipe 2.5" at rear, 3" to bolt to headers?

Won't they do it if you tow the car there and out and don't have plates on it? "It's an off-road only track car, sir."

If I did that, where would I get a clamp on sleeve, to go where the cats were?

Or I wonder if I walked in with a couple pipes (missing the cats) if they would weld a piece in the middle, as long as they didn't install it on the car?

BTW, I did three tuning runs on this new car today running MAF only with no fuel trims and found it running 8% rich. That is way off, for a tune done by ECS where the only mods since are the cats put back on and a alum flywheel replaced with a steel one.

I wasn't thinking the CATS airflow restriction would make that much difference.

When I rip those CATS off, I expect it should all the sudden get real lean. If so, I'll know first hand how those CATS affect a tune.
