dude its just a thing of consciousness and well some morals too, if you dont want to use a cat,, well there is nothing we can say to make you use one, we just guide you and info you. But if you get cough or when you get cough sorry to say but dont come posting, I got a fine for not cat... anything else feel welcome to ask..

 

Yeah I wish the federal govt would step in and require all states to run basic emissions tests and make sure people are running working cats...IMHO not running one, or running a non working one is irresponsible and illegal..Honestly if you chose to break the law you really shouldn't brag about it and just keep it to yourself....I also think all cars on the road no matter what model yr should be required to run one to be street legal...anyways enough out of me it's just a hot topic for me...

 

anybody know if the magnaflow high flow cat makes a sound difference? just curious because ive got a stock cat running to a cherrybomb and my neighbors across the street and to the right hate it. its funny as hell. it sounds pretty good right now and i like it.

 

Cat shouldn't affect the sound...now that cherry bomb is what is affecting it and if you were my neighbor we'd be having issues as well..I personally can not stand loud exhaust..A nice rumbling sound I like, but not loud and annoying.. I guess I am getting old..

 

if you mean like ricers, the cherrybomb sounds nothing like that. on the jeep it gives it a lower pitched town and more of a growl. its pretty bad ***. my friends zj has no muffler and it sounds like theres no cat to. it sounds bad *** but theres no quiet point. like if im driving down the road, i can let off the gas a bit and it becomes quiet as stock. but drop it down a gear and bring up the rpms and it roars.

 

Cherry Bombs can give two different sounds depending on which direction you mount them.

Baffles facing into flow...loud/mellow
Baffles facing with flow...plain loud

 

i like how mine sounds and we dont have checks in michigan

 

something was said about diesels blowing black smoke. well anyone newer than 07, which came out eary 06, have a converter on them. and the emissions on them are a lot harder than they are on gas engines.

 

I had that set up, and it only lasted abour 4 months, i went crazy...

 

for the poster that said converters are to expensive you might want to consider this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP-...spagenameZWDVW
