Alright so to nobody's surprise. I had fun with the headers and cat delete. I didn't think it would bother me so much but the smell of the deleted cats is getting to me. I don't like to smell it in the cabin occasionally or when I get out of the vehicle.


To maintain the flow, I'm keeping the headers and installing this magnaflow dual inlet/outlet cat (https://amzn.to/3Cgfs6R) right after the flanges at the exit of the headers. That should keep the smell down and still maintain the flow capabilities. I'll take some after clips to compare the sound and post it on YouTube/here.


Install this weekend, in addition to the EU2 flash since the check engine light ended up coming on with the new headers.


Tyler,
