OK, I gutted my cats and everything has been fine, but I've noticed that when it is cold out my car seems to dump an ungodly amount of exhaust out the rear. I'd almost describe it as "pouring" out the back lol. I obviously assumed the car would be putting more stuff into the air without cats, but it just seems kind of excessive. Is this common for people without cats, or do I have another issue?? The car is running fine and this is only noticeable when it is cold out.

The amount of exhaust is the same, with or without cats. It's just no longer filtered.

Thanks guys. Like I said, it isn't smoke, it is just exhaust. The car only does it when it is cold. I figured it was just all the unbroken down fumes, but I'm really paranoid about my car

I have a lot of exhaust coming out of my car also. I don't drive it in the winter, but when i start it every week and let it warm up all the way. I have just an open y pipe so steam comes from all around the bottom of the car. It looks pretty cool haha
