Let it FLOW

I need increase my exhaust flow but I'm not going to spend any money...at all. What are the potential problems of just knocking all the crap out of all 3 of my converters? And will it make my life better in any way to do so.

yeah it seems to me that if I seal the exhaust well there shouldn't be anything leaking out. Just a lot of stink in the back.

no, windows up, if the windows are down the wind blows all the fumes out.

even if you seal it good, something about gutting cats lets fumes in the car, and you can really tell when the windows are rolled up

If I do that I have to spend money. Not to mention doesn't that make your 6 ports stop working?

i have a 3"dp to 3" straight glasspack to 3" exhaust and its not that loud (sounds like a bridgeported 1st gen) and the smell isnt that bad. The problem is when u get pulled over or if a cop isnext to u at a light. They will be able to smell it and there goes ur car to the impound lot.
