Default Running NO converter

I had my converter taken off for that extra sound. It sounds so nice and smooth now. But there is a hole in the pipe where the converter used to be.

The reason i took it off was because all these busted *** mini vans are ridding around without them why cant a little honda.

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.
