So I was casually ripping out a heat shield off of my exhaust today when it hit me.... Why the hell is ripping off a heat shield casual!? I hate the exhaust on my X it's too quiet unless it is rattling a heat shield. I want to run my own pipe and cover it in rust proofing spray before install but I don't want to deal with cats and mufflers lol. I want loud growl. So I want to run just pipe from headers back along the same route as the current exhaust but without cats and without muffler.
Now I know there is something to know about back pressure and I know some might not be for the loudness but that is my preference. Kansas does not test emissions. I want to know:
Will this hurt my engine?
Should I instead do just pipe from the cats back?
What diameter?
What type of pipe?
What thickness of walls?
Will this work?
How would I bolt/weld (i have a welder friend) it to headers or cats?
