Should I go with a cattedd Y pipe or put my own bullet cats into a cheaper ory pipe and save 100 buckd for something else? What is the better bullet a morso spiral flow or a dynomax?
Thanks,
Ryan

Are you worried about rasp?? If you dont need cats for a state inspection I'd go ORY and put a bullet in the "I" pipe if your not happy with the sound.

It wont smell like ****, but you will smell the raw fumes...its nothing to stress about though, I like the smell actually.

The spiral will quit it down a decent amount, they get my vote.

If you know what CATS do then you should be able to answer your own question.

Simple answer:

Emissions = Need CATS

No emissions = No CATS

As for smell, well I don't beleive it. I own/have owned many cars without CATS because they wheren't used in the UK until 1993 and none of them noticbly smell more than cars with CATS.

If you can survive the smell of buring nitro in the NHRA pits you should have not problem with the fumes from a catalytic converter.
