going catless
will it make the crack pop on decel increase or decrease. I am not getting a x-pipe just gutting. Also I have all the bolt ons and am getting heads/cam at ARE next week. I want as much crack pop as I can get and I herd someone say the pop is from unspent gas hitting the cats and without them there will be no cracking. I also herd it would increase it drastically. Whats your opinion or facts that you have. would have done a poll but dont know how and am too lazy right now to look. Thanks for any help.

I have no cats + x-pipe and mine still pops and cracks.....not nearly as much,but it still does it :rolleyes: I personally don't like the popping and cracking....I think it makes the car sound like a land yacht with an exhaust leak, but to each his own :cheers:

It has nothing to do with unspent gas :rolleyes: Whoever told you this is just plain wrong... It has everything to do with the design of the systems and internal pressures usually upon deceleration....

Without the x you will most likely see quite a bit of pop..Really depends also what exhaust you are running in back...In my setup, I get zero pop at all speeds because of the custom x which i have towards the back and not right after the headers! Anyhow you will see a significant difference in loudness..Enjoy :)
