Figured out why the t-type would not pass the sniff test. Previous owner cut out the guts of the catalytic convertor. So I need a new one. I was planning on upgrading the cat-back exhaust to the hooker 2.5 set-up. Now that I need to replace the cat too, I'm wondering do you get reasonable gains for the extra $$$ going to a 3" set-up (downpipe and cat?). Do you also need a 3" cat-back exhaust to make full use of the 3" downpipe and cat? I have not seen 3" cat-back kits.
How do you remove the stock AC catalytic convertor from the stock downpipe? Looks like a crimped slip-fit, but does not want to come out.
