Turbo car. Cat or no cat.

if he's from around here, he shouldn't have too many problems legal wise as long as it is quite enough. As for the Hp difference, yes there will be a difference, but his main goal should be fuel management. If he doesn't have a decent way of managing the proper air/fuel going into the engine, he wont see the maximum power potentials. What year Dat is it? OBD2 is the question I have about it....dont remember if they made it that far to have OBD2 or not, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't.

no matter what its still illegal to not have a cat on a street vehicle in the us unless it like pre 71 or something like that. but you probably wont have a problem if you dont as long as you dont go on the internet and go hey guys i took my cat off today YAY

What is the difference (HP wise) between a turbo car with a high flow cat or no cat at all. The reason I ask is my buddy got a new 3 inch exhaust for his turbo daytona, but had the put on a high flow cat. Is there a big difference in hp?I think he should stick with the cats. I think its going tobe kinda loud. To the point where he's going to wish he left the cats on.
Take the cats off and see how he likes it?

In my personal experience, I like my car alot better with a cat on. I had a small round magnaflow high flow cat put on, and it made my car quite a bit quieter, especially at idle. Also it stinks alot less at stoplights, and I think I got a little low end back (lost some top end, but I don't really use the top end that much)
A cat may affect horsepower a bit, but not much, and unless you are squeezing every last bit out of the car already, you could get that back somewhere else. I think for me, the cat was a great decision and i'm very happy with it. YMMV -
depending on application you WILL NOT lose much power at all if you have a GOOD converter. I have made 600 plus to the wheels w/ them and alot of cars sound better with them in place. People that pick up horsepower w/ no converter is generally due to the cats being plugged. Good converters on a supercharged car will INCREASE the HP. I would advise him to leave the converter alone.

I grew up around the smell of unburnt gas so it's no cats for me. I love it. I said I love it.

Lose the cat., put in a test pipe. Chances are you'll melt the catalyst and end up with a plugged exhaust, if you're looking at a bigger turbo and most likely fueling adjustments.
