Default Anyone running TSP Catted Y Pipe
I was wondering if the high flow cats cut down on the exhaust smell compared to the noncatted Y pipe. I know with headers and off road Y pipe the car will stink. Wanting to cut down on the smell. Thanks.

RICER GUTS that's awsome. I was hoping that they would help with the smell. Wanted to make sure before I spent the extra 200 bucks.

Yeah the cats are actually functional and do clean up the fuel smell in the exhaust. You shouldn't smell much if any at all. Let us know if you have any other questions!

I'm running the catted Y for about a year. No smell at all. Helps cut any rasp out of exhaust. I would highly recommend.

Ran tsp catted y for years. Had an original LM 1 setup, that and its Illegal here and needed to pass inspection. They served as decent mufflers and u could still see straight through them.
