Does it make sense to remove the centre catalytic converter in our exhaust system?

[QUOTE="turbology, post: 539056, member: 10223"] There is no such thing as "you need a little back pressure". All "backpressure" is evil, like Dark Vader. [url]http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/html_product/sue462/backpressuretorquemyth.htm[/url] Dark vader: [url]www.starwars.com/characters/darth_vader/[/url] In more technically correct terms: Removing CAT will affect your Engine's volumetric efficiency. Is more notice-able in Auto Transmission car. It depend on the Mechanic's skill & knowledge (in bolehland is experience), a wrong exhuast mod will likely make your car feels... laggy. Instead of using the term "backpressure", I would use to 2 very important V-words to explain how exhaust work : Volume & Velocity For exhaust that is too big : great in volume but poor in velocity. For exhaust that is too small : excellent velocity, but bad in volume Just like intake system, for low rpm (which create torque), you want more volume. For high rpm(for hp), you want more velocity. Hope these help :) [/QUOTE]
