I have a 94 gt. Would there be an increase of sound with the rear 2 converters gutted? Id like to keep the front 2 on so i dont get all the fumes and crap. Anyone try gutting cats before? This is my budget car. I'm saving up for a 2003 Cobra so im trying to avoid spending too much on this car.
Thinking about gutting the rear cats...

do you get smogged?
Any of the aftermarket catted x/h pipes only come with 1 on each side. and they're 2.5".
cheap way would be to cut the back cat off and weld in a straight pipe in place.
or you should be able to find a off road x/h pipe used for about $50 in the classifides or C/L

I have a O/R H i would sell it needs to have a spot welded where the hanger came off. It left a small hole I would sell it for 50 bucks plus shipping.

If you want your car to be louder just be a high flow or offroad midpipe, don't hack the crap up.

Just take the factory cats off and put a pair of Magnaflow high-flow cats (available pretty much everywhere for fairly cheap) on there. I'm doing that to my V6 car, but not for extra noise or performance... more because I want more fuel economy.
Heh... a Mustang for my fuel-economy car... Who'd ah thunk it?

I've gutted the rear cats myself, it wasnt a huge difference with my 2chamber flomasters dumped, but I think its because the sound just hits the ground and bounces back up to give you a headache of drone. But when I put my 23 inch cherrybomb glasspacks on it, it was way louder than it was when I put them on the first time, with all my cats.

The Actual difference in a O/R pipe to a catted Pipe is very slim if your car runs properly.

also it revs up a lil faster now, because one of mine was blown.

Yeah Win is right, the difference in performance between high flow catted midpipes and off-road midpipes is negligible at best, it's not like if you go with an off-road midpipe over a catted one you're going to feel a huge difference.

treu daht. Mine was restricted from the chunks being stuck in there, so it freed up some power I'd say, and some sound.

I have my front 2 gutted & the back 2 just removed. Made mine a lot louder!! I live in a town where you can get away with this stuff.

we dont have inspections in kansas, so i just bought a full on, 6 cats removed, off road h pipe.. illegal, but the performance gain was massive, the sound greatly improved and much louder.

If you had a Performance Gain every one of your cats must have been Fubared. I stand by my previous statement.
