Rattling sound tells me they have to come off and be dealt with. Any input on replacements, new styles, or just removal or gutting would be appreciated. Could be time for headers if there are any out there? If I went to headers should I keep cats? What is the popular opinion? |
Well Gene it depends on what you are looking to do. First make sure it is the cat. If so chances are you can find another set of manifolds/cats without to much trouble, and I might be able to help in that regard. If you want to keep it stock that is fine, but if you put on headers with a catback system (with or without cats) you will see a noticeable HP gain that you can feel and hear.
Since you live in Florida you don't have to worry about inspections so you could also gut your cats to save money if that is your main goal. However most will recommend you go with headers and exhaust. An X-pipe in place of the resonator will be even better, but it will also be very loud so you need to determine if that is for you. My set up is headers with no cats into an x-pipe and a newer style B&B. Needless to say it is very loud but I enjoy the HP gains. If it was a daily driver I would tone it down because it is too loud for everyday driving for me.
