Cat rattle
So, my cat has been rattling for a while now. And it really pisses me off to hear the sound of the cam and love it just to hear the rattle of the cat. Im thinking about just dropping it and gutting the cat and seeing if it will throw a code that way, and if it does, put in a high flow, and while im there i'll probally throw on an electric cutout.
So, anyone here with a v6 ever gutted the cat or put on an electric cutout that can give me some advice? Appreciate it, im not an exhaust man.

Most of them are 200.00 or under.I'm going to use the QTP on mine.It comes with everything you need for 199.99.The only other one that I have personally seen is the one from DMH Performance.
Here is the one I'll be using http://shop.quicktimeperformance.com...ct_detail&p=24

If you want to be sure, get it on a lift, with the car on, and hit the cat with a rubber mallet and listen for the distinctive rattle.

from my research there is no such thing as a good cheap electric cut out, one company makes a decent one that has a high motor failure rate (according to some guys on another board who swapped them for the old cable type)

Well Arch, what do you recommend? I honestly have no idea a good brand of one that is worth the price. I just know I want one lol.
As is with all electronics, heat = bad... and its around very high temperatures, so I assume craftsmanship has alot to do with it.
