Cat delete Question

[DavidHuff]

On my car I used a 2014 driver side header so a 2014 cat bolts up to it. I connected the 14 cat to my 15 pipe and it fits perfect. I’ll try and grab some pics.

Great information, post pictures.

Do these simulators really work and do you have them on your mustang?

I use them and yes they work. The ones from bigdaddiesgarage are the best.

I will throw some pics up tomorrow. I invested some time and money in my setup but I’m happy with how easily it swaps in and out which is what I wanted. Getting any one to touch anything cat related where I live is very difficult.

Is anyone running these MAK cat deletes with roush axle backs?

Here is my cat swap set up. Where I put the pen at in the photo is where I had it cut and welded. From where the pen is to the cat is from a 2014 car, from the pen back is from my 2015. I have the same slip on ends on my mak deletes but they are 3 inch OD to 3 inch ID so they slip onto my 3 inch cat back without having to neck down in size at all. I sourced the 2014 parts locally and got both cats and manifolds for $200 which was nice since I didn’t want to cut up the stock cat.

This is my whole exhaust with cat deletes.

Those are the ones that I used, and they work fine. Could plug my car in at the inspection station and all monitors are green.

Yes, I am.

And your next question is going to be: "How loud is it?"

Answer: Wake the Phucking Dead LOUD...!!!! But more importantly, the rasp was absolutely ridiculous.

And your next question is going to be: "What should I do about that combo?"

Answer: Get (like others have mentioned) a resonated x-pipe such as the Magnaflow, or what I have; a Borla/Ford Performance resonator in place of the factory resonator.

For me the Borla/FP resonator I have kept most of the volume, but thankfully killed the rasp which was almost unbearable.

A combination of cat-delete's, x-pipe, and Roush A/B's are almost NASCAR loud, and I wouldn't recommend that combination to anyone. I'm not kidding.

Just replace the stock resonator with the magnaflow resonated tru X.
It’s perfect .

This...no cats, straight through mufflers.

any vids by chance? I have ARH catback atm and having long tubes put on tomorrow, i have some (4"?) resonators on there already but if it sounds raspy as shit I want to add the magnaflow resonated x.

I don't but the Magnaflow killed the rasp and drown 100%. The only reason i bought it, was terrible.

Do you have knowledge on if the magnaflow resonated tru x will still keep almost similar volume but will kill the rasp like your borla/ford performance resonator did? I want it to be a tad louder than what it is now but no ear rape after 1.5k LOL.

I can only speak of my combo (in sig below), but more to your question the Borla/FP resonator kept almost ALL the volume at WOT, but killed the rasp.

As I have stated in other similar threads, my combo is VERY, VERY loud at WOT when the engine is under load; however, when I am just cruising along at say, 2K rpm going down the highway, I can still have a normal conversation with someone sitting beside me and I can clearly listen to music; but when you so much as breath on that long, slim pedal on the right-hand side of the footwell, the exhaust note goes immediately from Jekyl to Hyde!

Maybe the best of both worlds?? But I wish it was a tad quieter at WOT.

Maybe I'm getting old...

Same experience here. I was running the 3" Magnaflow Competition Catback with Stainless Works Long Tubes with no cats and the drone and rasp was so terrible it was embarrassing to drive the car. I had the Magnaflow 3" resonated X welded in and it completely killed the drone and rasp. Now it's sounds great low rpms and loud at high rpms. I might have a dyno pull somewhere.
