    New guy, couple questions

    Hey guys, I've been a member over at bf.c for a while and thought I would jump on over here and see how it is.

    Ok, here is my first dilemma as r3v member:

    1. I bought a Cherry Bomb glasspack muffler to replace my OEM rear muffler.

    2. I went to go get it put on at a local shop to find out I have not had a cat on the car since I bought it. Needless to say they did not put it on due to legal issues.

    3. I figured I could give it a shot since I am pretty good with other components of the car. I have never dealt with exhaust, so I checked a few write ups, etc. Anyway, my car sits in my driveway with no muffler, loud as a bitch in heat and the glasspack is exact diameter of OEM piping so it will need welding.

    4. Before I pay to weld on the glasspack, do you think I will need a cat to make it tolerable to drive at speed? If so, I will just weld the factory muffler back on. and count my losses.

    Thoughts?

    Put the glasspack on, Search videos on youtube with cars running glasspacks with no cat. It sounds pretty good but what's tolerable to me may not be tolerable for you.
