Got round to making a video with the de-cat.
Doesn't really show how it sounds when you're driving, just how it sounds when you're revving to make videos really   -------------------- |

Doesn't really show how it sounds when you're driving, just how it sounds when you're revving to make videos really And here is stock standard (with pod filter) for comparison. Sounds very much the same but not as loud and a few sounds filtered out, also notice how my engine makes a slight stutter before it revs away from idle (normal) which isnt present in the decatted 3s-ge. EDIT: Playing both at the same time stock sounds deeper... hmm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z52gunU0WCU QUOTE (97Celica @ Jul 11, 2008 - 10:19 AM) oh...crap...did I forget to sign into the old folk's home?ahaha...de-catting is POINTLESS if you are N/A and not to mention...thanks for the skin cancer via depleting the O-Zone Layer! I've heard the catalyst agents burn away after 100,000 kms leaving you with nothing but an extra exhaust restrictor which robs power.. anything that robs power also lowers fuel economy which in itself increases emissions since you have to make more power (ie, burning extra gas) to push the same road speeds.
