I used to have a mini van. My friends and I separated the cat from the pipe back it left a half inch gap and sounded nasty. quite funny but the fumes are also very nasty.

yeah, its not worth it. its so little hp that you wont really notice it, except maybe on a TC car, well, definately on a TC car. but they stink even worse.

im running a test pipe and my car stinks, ill have to admit it. im gonna get a high flow cat though, cuz once i hit vtec, the sound gets so high pitched. but at idle and driving conservative, it sounds nice.
