hey guys/gals
So i went to the mechanic yesterday for an oil change, my car was up on the lift, when i was under it looking at it, my mechanic pointer out the catalytic converter and its pipes, they are not even BMW!!!!!!!!!! the cat and the pipes are so small, they guy who put them in had to insert the small pipe into the larger ones up against the side, then he welded the 1 1/4 inch gap!! what a nad.
So i have decided, since i do not have to get emissions for another 1 year and 5 months, i am going to get rid of my cat all together (for now) so i will have the correct size pipes from the headers all the way back to my muffler, could i expect louder noise? decreased performance (since no cat) or improved performance? (since no cat restriction)
thanks for any input
