I have take off my 2X Cat converter for my exhaust system. This is what i feel better respond !! but no guarantee it will increase HP.. Muffler getting louder but shoik sound becos u can hear more engine and muffler sound.. But if u sit inside the car with all window close u can really hear much sound.. But for outside u can hear the line 6 engine sound is damn nice especially Vanos kick in... Take out my cath replace with normal piping cost me RM50 ... And FC getting better means save more petrol after taken out... Well i still hear that the muffler not loud enof. So wat i plan is that get a e36 m3 muffler will go 1/2 cut shop tommorrow at CHAN SOW LIN look for m3 stuff...
