What company makes a front y-pipe w/no cats for an LT1?

As of now i have PE cat back...

Do you think it would be worth ditching the cats? if anything just for the enjoyment of the sound :)

Any problems with running no cats? Besides the fact that it is illegal?

Springer's LT4

I would think you'll need some programming to adjust for the fuel and possibly will throw a code... I'm not aware of anyone that makes a direct bolt in non- cat pipe.

Hummm that sucks :)

So much for making my car louder...allthough it is loud now...it can Always be louder :D

Thanks for the reply

I think that a no cat front exhaust would be called "long tube headers". :)

McKVette

You mean you can't run the stock manifolds connecting to a non-cat ypipe then into the catback exhaust? :confused:

Here's how it works, around here anyway.

If you take it to any kind of exhaust shop and you have stock manifold with no cats, they won't touch it. Even if you removed the cats yourself they can't do anything, ANYTHING, that means even fabricate a y-pipe. Now, say you have headers they can do anything you want them to. They get around it because it is "an off-road application"

BTW, the only way your car will throw a code is if it has 4 O2 sensors. If it just has the two in front of the cats then you can take them off and the computer will never know the difference.

Personally I would recommend Hooker long tubes ;) :cheers:

My "guy" will install the exhaust with no cats :D

Now let me go back and read the rest :D

McKVette

BTW
How much did you pay for your hooker long tube?

Nathan Plemons

I got them from Chris @ Speed Demon. It was around $600 or so.

McKVette

sheeeeewwww thats alot for headers :)

compared to a pair for other SB chevys

bogus

good luck passing inspection.

and your "guy" would be subject to a $10,000.00 fine if caught.

DMV could also fine you for tampering with emission control systems.

I would not advise it...
