my cousin put on different bolts because the bolts of of the catylitic converter were to sort so he put some longer bolts in...so it's that its to loose or maye the bolts arent lining up correctly

quick question: why? don't mean to jack your thread and all, but why take the cat off? to gain .5 horsepower? i don't mean to sound like a tree hugger, but what you're contributing to pollution hardly warrants your car being obnoxiously loud and not faster. sorry, it's late...just my humble opinion. put the cat back on. if you want... i have a brand new, never used magnaflow 2.25" high flow OBD1 cat i'll sell you real cheap, lol.

Re: (v!taminb16)
he was pointing out a good point though. the test pipe does only add maybe .5 horsepower. i don't worry about the environment really just saying the gains are negligible.

Re: (v!taminb16)
You noticed 1hp? Damn your spidey senses must be tingling!!!!! Lol jk man.. But seriously, is the sound rattling or pinging? Like does it sound like metal on metal? Check any hangers or bolt spots that you might not be using, I had this happen before.
