straight piped hks catback exhuast

[my_sick_si]

Ok so I'm thinking about trading my car for a prelude and he told me it has a hks exhuast on it but straight piped. He also told me it has a catalyct converter.
Does that even makes sense?
Someone please help me out

[Master Shake]

seems like what he is trying to say its its a catback exhaust with no muffler.


so what do you need help with?

[C-loS109]

i think he got the super uber extra rare cadillac converter....


just saying.

[my_sick_si]

I don't really know bout straight pipes but I thought you take out the catatylic converter when straight piping a car?

[Barefoot]

he is properly just as much of a noob as u and has his terms mixed up.

[my_sick_si]

Oh ok so you don't have to take off the converter when straight piping car?

[Elbow]

You do.

[The Youngn]

Its up to you.

[my_sick_si]

You do.

Ok now I'm confused. Someone please tell me how you straight pipe a car. What is the difference?

[teh_mugen18]

straight-pipe = NO muffler and NO catalytic converter... lol simple.

EDIT: Its called "straight pipe" for a reason, because there is nothing but Straight PIPE from the engine out to the back or side of the car, wherever it'll exit.

Oh ok simple enough. Either the guy was lying or he didin't know what he was talking about.

Thanks

Thankslol happy u figured out what i told a few posts ago.

[my_sick_si]

lol probably. I'll ask him again. Meeting him at the varsity tomorrow

[Z0_o6]

or you could just, oh i don't know, look at the car and answer the question for yourself.

[my_sick_si]

I'll try but the car is pretty low and I don't know if I can see it or not

don't be a girl and get a lil dirty before you purchase a vehicle. Lay on the ground behind the car and look at the exhaust. And while your at it, call a mechanic, or someone that is more mechanically inclined than you to look at the car. :goodjob:
