wondering if i were to disconnect the stock catback on my 93 cx and leave it open, not have a catback/rear muffler, would i loose hp? torque? gain anything? and how would it sound..i know ur thinking, buy a catback exhaust, i will, but short funds for now. so any information would be great, thanx..

dont do it. sound nasty. sound shitty ,loud and annoying. i just did it today. hahah

it will sound very loud and horrible. you won't gain anything. you will probably lose power.

you want an exhaust? check out the Official Exhaust thread.

haha, nice..yea, im hearing the same around..not sounding good so far, the question just popped in my head, so i thought id see what others thought..also, how hard is it to remove the catback?

skip.two

its not hard at all. just a few bolts. might take some muscle.

yea take that question out of your head. i did it before just for fun, and it bothered me within 5 minutes.

damn, i think i might end up being stubborn and o it anyways, not despite u guys..lol, just bc i love doing stuff with my car, whether ill have to put it back in the next 15 min.. what model and mods did u have?

skip.two

it was stock at that time. don't do it for another reason...

i don't know about florida laws, but i believe it's illegal to not have a muffler.

just giving you a heads up, so don't complain if you get a ticket.

yaleforizzle

who knows, maybe we do..but i know a kid with a coupe, runnnig 2.5 down and back, but no catback, and hes never had any problems, but thanx for the heads up..im also running a cold air, filter sits down right behind the hole in the front grill..screams at high rpms and whistles at idel..im hoping thatll have a lil to do with it, if i unbolt it

u WILL scream after u hear the sound of it. hahaha. i did today.
