what should i do? i already have a racing beat catback, i know i will have to do fuel mods and eventaully i will get a Power FC. im going up to NY this weekend so i want to see if i can get anythign on the BLACK MARKET haha.

 

1. Do you have emissions testing in your state?

2. If so, do you want to worry about being illegal? Do you want to worry about switching out the mp for a cat when you need to pass testing?

3. If you don't have testing, do you mind heavy exhaust smell?

4. Are you ready to try and control the boost creep that may come with a mp?

Depending on how you answer those questions will determine if a mp is for you....

 

i don't mind exhaust smell, but it doesn't look like hte mid pipes for me, theres no possibility in shooting flames with a HI flow is there?

 

Nope.

 

I have the power FC (base map / no tuning) with the stock Airbox, and Stock Main Cat.. I have a straignt thru cat back, and a mid pipe

I can shoot a nice 2 foot flame when I lift near redline...

 

Uhh, how do you have the stock main cat and the midpipe on at the same time?

 

maybe he's confused and he means pre-cat

 

MP all the way, just keep the stock cat for emissions. MPs are the best!!!! Cheaper then the high-flow too. Check my mods below... no need for extra fueling so far, not that it isnt a good idea. If I start to raise the boost with the Power FC then the inj duty gets a little above 80%. With the Racing Beat you will have a quiet exhaust note but it will scream at high RPMS. I dont have any spikes, but a little boost creep on a cold day. The PFC will control your boost fine, just make sure you get that before the MP.

 

thats not possible.....

 

I do, Ill have video proof within the next week or so if you dont believe me.

 

Not that I wouldn't believe you, I would just imagine that the cat isn't doing it's job at all then. I doubt that would pass emissions at all here where I'm located.

 

quick 93 FD- The reason why everyone is saying that that is impossible is because the midpipe is the pipe that replaces the main cat. It is impossible to have both unless you have some sort of minaturization machine . The down pipe replaces the pre cat could you be reffering to that. If you can produce a video with the stock main cat and a midpipe i woulsd really like to see that.

 

Actually, I believe he is referring to shooting flames with a Hi-Flo Cat installed.

 

correct me if im wrong, but you do have to weld the downpipe don't you? what about hte midpipe? how easy is it to replace it for emissions testing ?

 

Yeah, ur wrong. No weld, just bolts

 

As Dan said, no welding, just bolts. However, if midpipes are illegal in your state, that first flame shooting out with the police around will be an instant ticket.
