i have an open cat. and when my friends drive behind me, they sometimes complain, haha. other than that, youll notice a smell at first, then you'll be used to it. it wont stick on your clothes...

You wont considerably notice the smell, unless you have a crazy exhaust leak and the cabin of your car has holes allowing the fumes to come in. The person that will notice the smell the most is the sniffer at you emissions check point.

Re: (BRAD 1.8)
I havn't had a cat in yrs, and have never really noticed a bad smell. Only time if got smelly was when my header/b-pipe joint leaked, and the gas was coming up into the cabin where the shift linkage enters.

a little smelly but like they said, you'll get used to it.
It does hinder performance though. It puts a wide spot in the exhaust flow that then gets choked up hitting the b pipe. You'd be better off getting one of those 20 dollar test pipes off of ebay.

i have a test pipe, and i can only smell it while in reverse, or if i shut my car off and walk behind it. I can't tell any other time. It def makes it sound worse though.

Re: (DagYo!)
I've ran a gutted cat for years and honestly, it's not as bad as what people say. As long as you're driving normal, you shouldn't have to worry about much fumes..

I have a header, and a High Flow Catalytic Converter (Which means there is still SOME some deffening material... But it's still straight threw). I can't smell anything ever, and I think the car sounds damn good.
But, I also have stock exhaust from there back. I'm into the stock look
If you're not looking to spend much, I would recommend purchasing the Megan Cat. I have it on my car... Here is a thread about the install on a different forum, that may aid you in your install... It's not too fun man.
Thread on the Install here
Here is the product from the same seller I purchased mine from
Then again... If you have some extra money, you could go with the Skunk2 Test Pipe... A bit more pricey, but it's HOT **** YO'!!!11!1
Skunk2 Test Pipe
Hope that helps

****... All of the Exhaust Shops in this town will not TOUCH a car without a Catalytic Converter, let alone make a pipe that will rid an Exhaust System of one.
And this is in North Carolina... They're typically pretty leanient about this kind of ****.

they won't install it, that's illegal, but they have pipe laying around and can make one. Put it in yourself. Also, there is at least one muffler shop in every city that'll break the rules and do it if you ask right .

And correct you are.
I guess just see how much that will be, versus the Megan Cat, which is about $43.00 shipped. If it's less than the Megan, I'd say go custom.
Good point IHateJDM.
