cat \"test pipe\"
So, I think I'm going to try and put in a quick cat "test pipe" for "off-road use" in my '97 coupe. I have a Corsa 2.5" cat back system installed. I like it, but would like a little more noise. At the track.
I don't have the cash right now to go for headers, but plan on doing it at some point. I don't want to buy a 2.5" high flow cat before I get headers, which will probably have me wanting a 3" high flow cat. Anyway, I got more time than money this week, but you probably don't care about that...
I plan on waltzing down to my local muffler shop, and having them make a section of pipe with a flared section on one end. I'm then going to hack off my cat with a sawzall, and clamp the new pipe in place.
So, anyone want to talk me out of it, poke holes in my plan, or just give me some helpful advice? What happens if they don't have stainless? Would it be bad to sandwich a piece of regular steel pipe between two stainless pipes?
Thanks.
