I thought the cats were integrated into the exhaust (read: welded to), so how does that work?

pancing

They are on the oem.
you get a test pipe that bolts onto the turbos with 2 o2 bungs for sensors and those test pipes have a system that you can attach an exhaust or the pipe is welded onto the test pipe.

2fcknfst

So, you have to butcher the stocker to make it work?

I see.

Capt. Obvious

No, those replace the stock system and have no cats.

2fcknfst

Ohhhhhh, I get it. Thank you - so that should be quite loud...

Years ago I rode in a 996 Turbo that had straight pipes (it was owned by a Rennlister who lived in Florida) and I couldn't believe how loud it was. I'd never be able to mentally put up with the noise, and the dB would have a long term negative impact on my hearing.

2fcknfst

I bet it shot flames too.

Dock

That I don't know. But if so it would be another reason why I wouldn't have straight pipes.

2fcknfst

Typically, with short straight pipes, unspent fuel on deceleration ignites and crackles...

I have a car with long straight pipes and it does that; it also melted the rear valance because it got so hot back there. I wouldn't do it again.

Dock

I've seen videos of that.

Capt. Obvious

Yesterday I learned two things:
1) My car is slower than a Lamborghini Avantador
2) My car is faster than an Audi R8 V10

So that was fun.

2fcknfst

Knowledge is power.

pancing

So youre working on
3) how much money to make it faster than a aventador.

Also, "Power is Power."

Capt, what were the conditions - highway pulls?

I have had some crazy pulls against some kids "wanting to go" and just obliterated them. I felt kind of bad. But again, I have a tune, but what tune, God only knows.

2fcknfst

He should be quicker in the twisties - the Aventador is a boat.
