i did it.... i got the straight pipe done!! She sounds so quiet now, i guess i got used to the non functional cats lol. The guy dug out the cat in the front so theres none of that grey stuff in there since he said he couldnt straight pipe it cuz of the branch. Ne way she feels much better a little more power freed up.... i was at 60mph in second gear so im satisfied

 

I can get to 69-70 mph in second gear if I pull it almost to the rev limiter on my auto, I thought all first gen SC3s get to around 68 in 2nd?

 

Exactly how did your gearing change?

 

It got quieter with a straight pipe?

 

i thought it would be louder?

 

Did he build your diff while he installed the straight pipe?

 

the cat i had on dere was shot so the car was extremely loud.... so not it sounds like a purrrrrr sexy lol

and i dunno how it got up dere maybe a combo of a badd clutch and i want even close to redline but its a small start

 

Yeaaa okay. Didn't know you could adjust your gear ratios by just knocking out your catalytic converters..
