exhaust...

Hey guys, I am in the process of deciding what type of exhaust system I would like to run on my 93 fd, I have a down pipe and plan to install a midpipe and cat back system. I do not have any air from the air pump flowing to my cat, and I think with my ecu upgrade causing it to run rich, that it may be getting a little clogged with fumes and causing the car to idle funny sometimes. I am thinking of just taking off everything from the downpipe back until I buy my midpipe and cat back. First of all, is it bad for the car, and how ridiculously loud is it?
Thanks

Bad Idea A rotary will shoot 2-3 foot flames out an open exhaust and you don't want that under the car also a fully open exhaust on a rotary will be about 150db loud and quickly cause total hearing loss

Don't do it!! You would totally scorch the underside of your car!! I would definately get the midpipe (or hi flow cat) and catback. What ecu are you running? I have the pettit and mine was running too rich until I got my exhaust on. Now it is just sweet

Thanks for the help guys, I am also running the Pettit ECU. Hopefully it will run better once the exhaust is complete.
