If I get MIL-eliminators with true duals, would I need cats at all?

texastboneking

mil eliminators keep the cel from coming on for no cats. you will pass as long as the inspector doesn't look under the car for cats (rare that they do). i haven't had cats since ive owned my car and ive passed no problems with mil eliminators.

If caught without cats, would I be charged a fine, or would I just fail the test? I guess it would depend on the inspector
I think I just answered my own question.

texastboneking

nope... no fine. just fail the test. then you look for another hole in the wall shop and slip them a 50 and they wont look

I asked my mechanic that does the inspection and repair for our families cars, and all he said was as long as it doesn't throw codes I don't care.

texastboneking

sounds like the mechanics i know

Skylar

I'll look into that. I know it would be louder without cats, but it would definitely make it deeper too, right? I haven't paid much attention to exhaust vids that had no cats, cause I always thought I would have them.

Depends a o/r x pipe will not sound too good. A H pipe would sound a lot better on a v6.

texastboneking

small hp gain also. especially if you like free flowing exhaust

texastboneking

h-pipe sounds better. x pipe offers slightly more hp gains. if i had a v6 i would choose h pipe. v8 i have an x

TheMuffinMan

Agree 100% why would you add loud rasp to an already raspy sound. H pipe all the way!

texastboneking

my bud has an x. it raspy but he is running spintech mufflers so it actually sounds good. if you run the right mufflers x pipe dont sound bad

Skylar

True duals shouldn't sound raspy?

Skylar

Divorced duals shouldn't sound raspy?

texastboneking

ewwww... true duels rob power bad.. thats old school ****... if you want to lose top end power go for it. x pipe and h pipe will destroy true duels....

Blackout

I had an x pipe at first then true duals now h pipe two cats and borla stingers. Plan to get longtubes and get rid of cats

Skylar

Destroy? It can't be that much of a difference.

Skylar

Which did you like better, true duals or H pipe?

texastboneking

on my friends 2500 gmc he lost 50 hp going true duels... he has a supercharged 6.0 in a 2500 gmc. his top end power aint near what it used to be.

TheMuffinMan

No I I was talking about X pipes making the v6 too raspy and ricy in my opinion. If you are going to go with true duals go with the H pipe, no one cars about all of 2-3 hp if your car doesn't sound as good. Also true dual exhaust has a mid pip (with either a X or a H) I think you have divorced duals and true duals mixed up blackout.
