decatted vtr?
Got a spare cat and wondering if chiselling it out makes much difference? Also does it sound good?

Actually doing it will be pretty dangerous as the stuff inside them isn't nice. And people have done it, not sure on the performance / how well it works though.
Give a go

LOL! at some of the replies.
it may make a very slight difference in sound. maybe not even noticable.
it may make your car slightly more powerful, and free it up abit.
it may also be all in your head and think there is more of an advantage that what there really is.
yes, it SHOULD in theory make it "better" but by how much, will depend on the rest of your system, the health of your engine and your driving style.
also, the crap you knock out, is poisonous, so dont breath too much in!

Does anybody else think it will just make the inside of the exhaust rough and make it worse? Or is it just me?
Don't be a pikey and buy a de-cat pipe

if you want to go de-cat get the full system to go with it!
exhausts are shaped, bent / curved for a reason, not just to fit.
