StallionProject86 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I've gutted mine with no problems. Just a more prominent turbo hiss through the 2.5" exhaust. (: P.s.

MotoCam360 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 How many miles are on the motor? All the vac lines look like they're in good shape? Disty been cleaned recently? We could go on and on with things to check for, but we need more information. You could gut your cats or eliminate them. MK1 on Egay (Mookeh) makes a very nice 3" SS DP for the SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
