Hey there! I know you're about to leave a comment on this video, but I have to clear up a few things before you do. 1. This video is purely informational on what you can expect by removing the catalytic converter from your car. I know it is illegal, I know it is bad for the environment, this is all purely informational. 2. My car is a 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V. I know you've never heard of it, but my car is commonly tuned and modified to some pretty crazy extents. I know damn well that my car is a Sentra, but it is not "Just a Sentra". 3. My face is weird because I have allergies, this was filmed in April. 4. The Febreeze thing was a joke, it is what is known as sarcasm. I like the smell of my car now, but back then it embarrassed me a bit when my friends noticed it and hated riding with me for it. 5. I don't care whatsoever on what you think of me, my exhaust, or any of the decisions I have made, I just made this video to help people out who were on the fence with making a choice on a serious modification to any vehicle. Thanks for reading, and keep in mind that I read every comment. I value your feedback more than I could say.
How do you "really know" that catalytic converters are good for the environment? I for one, don't believe what the "authorities" say. It is nothing but a huge scam on the vast majority of hard working people.
I don't intend to "rake up likes" and I 100% hoped you would look right at this. It was my own damn opinion and you are going to get all offended that I called you a shitty ass ricer when your name on youtube is ri$erboi. And i sure do own a car, I own a 2013 Focus ST. Sure as hell wont ruin it by doing the so called "mods" you do. No i'm not pulling every car I race but at least I am properly tuning my car. All I know is I could beat that piece of shit.
SR20deet He's been brainwashed to think that way by the public school system and the media. A de catted car smells like... well, it smells like cars did when i was a kid. Its not gross...

Thats not a straight pipe, A straight pipe means No Cats, No resonators, and no mufflers Its a literal pipe from engine to bumper. You don't have that. Im not hating Im just letting you know before you get bigger and start getting actually hate man
+Not Your Average Car Guys What I have is the stock header with the pre-cat removed, a Megan racing catless but resonated downpipe, and a God Snow catback exhaust. I wish I could get the car that loud with just a catback lol, but I know what I'm talking about, I've got an install video on the channel. Thanks for looking out for me though, and you might want to check out my JR Garage video.
Not Your Average Car Guys You are very correct My cats etc are non-existent however I have had been pulled over in FLORIDA to have a visual exhaust inspection luckily I lowered my 05 GTO a inch making it a bear to see my cats. I left my mufflers and when the officer saw that he just went about his way pls on my car the muffler delete along with kook headers etc and the deletes make my car overwhelming so that's nice too
It would be his microphone, his camera most likley has the background noise cancelling feature. I've recorded my car with the exhaust disconnected from the manifold, it was loud as hell but in the video it just sounds pathetic.
Good honest information here. B4 cats were on cars we use to replace the stock muffler with either a Cherry Bomb, Thrush or California Turbo muffler. I always used the plain Jane California Turbo mufflers because with those they were quiet until you got into it then they would open up & sound Amazing. Back then our cars were V8s & ran on Premium leaded gas👍👍

Hey man, keep doing you... atleast you had the confidence to post videos & who cares what people think of you or your car.. most people your age aren't driving much better and if they are they most likely had alot of help affording a nice car... I dont think you should have to make a comment explaining yourself bro. I dont think anyone has the rite to try and make you feel stupid for not knowing things.. that's not your fault. I feel bad for the people who get but hurt enough to comment and try to make you feel stupid. They must have very negative and depressing lifes. Keep doing what you love bro you'll only get better
Not trying to hate on him but I agree if you can talk normal and still hear the person it's not loud. I had a truck back in high school wasn't stock by no means but a deaf friend could hear it.
This is mainly common sense but is a good reminder for some drivers out there. These kind of videos remind me all the time to stay humble I guess is the best way to put it, with the way I drive
Sounds to me you need to run a couple cans of seafoam in the gas, and check the O2 sensors, to be sure they are in specs. Also it sounds good. Try the seafoam to clean your engine, and watch the black soot disappear 👍👍👍
Our government here in Tennessee voted to do away with the annual emissions test and I was just thinking about the new option that I now have if my catalytic converter ever gets stolen. I don't know if it makes any sense to a mechanic but I would be willing to cheap out on the repair and run a second muffler in place of the stolen catalytic converter if it was just as quiet as before and saved me more than $500.
I want to delete because I am tired of replacing stolen cats. My work vans are getting hit constantly. Cops won’t do anything an cameras are useless as they see them and cover their faces. But I do not want loud and smelly.
I have a 2000 ford Expedition that we straight piped and rebuilt the throttle body, engine..it starts rough, but rides so smooth. 🙌..better on gas, no regrets.
somebody stole my catalytic converter on my hyundai tiburon 06 when broke down one day got it fixed now it sounds cool like a actual sports car when i drive lol
When you say straight pipe, to most, that's a muffler and resonator delete. Cats arent exactly cheap and smart people know that removing cats are horrible for the environment. That being said, your car looks pretty cool.
I have done two cat deletes. One on 89 Integra another on 98 prelude. And yes be ready for Loud! Definitely gonna have a black bumper lol. And smell.. It's all with it though. Advice.. If you have an o2 you need a spacer! They are cheap and easy to install. This will keep your maintenance light off and keep an accurate reading. :)
Hey bro, I just did a cat delete and having lots of problems, will like to talk you about it. I also just followed. Did an 02 spacer work for you to keep the CEL off? Did you have to do any tuning, and also does your car have cat over temp protection?
Don't delete a cat from '96 on up, unless you don't mind a MIL lamp. I've seen cats with 275k on them that aren't plugged or blown out. Cat housings expand in diameter 50% to 75% larger (or so) before the honey-comb and compensate for the restriction. You're better off keeping the car well maintained and in tune to prevent such cat failures. If you feel you MUST delete a cat, be sure to only delete the 2nd one DOWNSTREAM from the 2nd oxygen sensor. It's still illegal, and won't pass states' emissions, but generally won't set a code. Corvettes can do 200 MPH with four cats. Wanna go fast and sound mean? Buy a faster car.
+Pat Callahan 1. I live in Oklahoma, no smog here. 2. If you're afraid of codes, spark plug defoulers are $4 and keep you O2 sensors happy. 3. For my car in particular, the precatalyst starts disintegrating around 80,000 miles, and car severely damage the engine through inhaling ceramic dust through the EGR system (which is just the stock exhaust flowing in reverse when off the throttle). 4. Pops sound good on any car, just because I'm cheap doesn't mean I have to be boring.
2017 WRX. No cats. deleted the two this car had. No check engine lights... since the car was tuned to run without cats. It also, with a few other mods, resulted in 310 WHP. Stock the car dynoed at 225 at the wheels Name another car that can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, tops out a little north of 160mph, And can do the above for UNDER 30,000 new (including mods) And is not front wheel drive? I bought what i could afford, and made do what i wanted it to do. Gives my buddy's 2016 S4 a run for its money.
What type of smell are we talking about here? My current exhaust with cats smells like rotting eggs while I'm driving uphill, whereas most cat deleted vehicles I'm around smell like a go-kart track or a lawn mower. While some may find the latter to smell terrible, I prefer it over the current smell.
My old 300zx was straight piped and I never thought it smelled weird🤷🏼♂️ I definitely think my Mazdaspeed Protege needs to be straight piped… the damn thing is way too quiet.

My 2001 honda civic ex, i did a full exhust, with headers, no cat, but a HKS resonator, is pretty good i must say, never gave me a problem, just i need hit Vtec to make it sound so good.
Anyone that is concerned about the kind of crap this guy was talking about should not only never straight pipe their car, but should not be driving any type of sports car to begin with. I dont think I've turned the stereo on in my car for more than 2 years cuz the only thing I wanna here is my exhaust and engine. That is truly music to my ears. And I certainly would never carry Fabreeze in my trunk for Christ sake. You would never find that goofy shit in my home more less my car. Now, Im not saying this dude is a bad guy or anything. He is who he is. But if this is who you are then, buddy, car modding is not for you. Buy yourself a nice sensible grocery getting sedan and be who you were born to be lol.
+Dave Schiwal Once again, I will clarify why I made this video, and where I was going with it. I was hoping to talk to people who did not know as much about modding or were undecided on doing a large, illegal modification to their car's exhaust. I did it myself, and lived with it for just a little while at that point, so I could go over the pros and cons for people with just an axleback or a catback. I'm like you, I like a bit of sound in the cabin. Now as far as it goes for me being qualified to work on a car, then watch me replace all the brakes and one of my axle shafts in one of my earlier videos, I think I know what I'm doing to an extent :).
ri$erboi no it doesn't, oh you must care what people think, in that case you shouldn't make videos anymore cause all your going to get is people like me that go through and point out all the flaws in all of your comments.

+Ryan S By your logic a Focus RS can be called a "commuter" 😂. People can get Sentra Spec Vs to run 12 second quarter miles with a turbo and a tune. People build race cars out of them. People build rally cars out of them. Nissan made a Spec V touring car for a reason. The business of 2j racing is almost entirely centered around parts for Spec Vs. Look, just because I'm not a lemonade stand millionare doesn't mean I have to drive a stock Camry, if the exhaust makes me happy, that's all I give a fuck about, but a Sentra Spec V isn't just a "commuter" if you know about the potential the cars can have.
ri$erboi you know what im going to help you out with this one. You need a B5 A4 1.8t of a 2.8 30 valve v6. Either of those are cheap to upgrade and cheap to obtain. Just look them up.
I drive my parents 04 Dodge Ram 1500 which the exhaust essential rusted off and was hanging by the hangers and dragging on the road, the hangers were seized up so our neighbor cut the exhaust off for us, it was loud before since it was aftermarket, but no it is much louder, my friends love it and always get me to rev it when i drive home.
His car isn’t even loud I just straight piped mine up to the catalytic converter so it’s more like a cat back exhaust but it’s louder than his.the video is on my channel 👍

5.28 wth is with that face when u change gears.
Muhammad thall lol for real he like trying not to shit himself
*5:25.... its ":" button not a full stop like you put... and it is so funny haha
My old 300zx was straight piped and I never thought it smelled weird🤷🏼♂️
I definitely think my Mazdaspeed Protege needs to be straight piped… the damn thing is way too quiet.
This guy is awesome! Love the dry humor mixed in with all the good info. Great personality for this sort of thing!
its crusty humor lmao
You have now entered the "Best Videos on The Internet" Zone!
What about the 02 senors and check engine light? And the fuel/air ratio??
Good video convincing me this is a decision i would regret
That cars not loud! I did a muffler delete on my Dodge ram, now thats mfkrs loud!!! My neighbors hate me so im loving it! 😂
Good luck keeping that piece of shit running
@@KillerOfWeed A year later and still running strong bitch! 😂 You must be one of my neighbors 😅😅😅
@@TommyBoy-719- somebody stole my catalytic converter on my hyundai tiburon 06 when broke down one day got it fixed now it sounds cool like a actual sports car when i drive lol
@@JimmyKudo93 hell yea man! I did a muffler delete on my Chrysler 300 just last week and it sounds alot better too! I done got rid of my Dodge awhile back but im loving it 😁👊
@@TommyBoy-719- should i delete my muffler or resonator? Or does it come with my catalytic converter might as well delete since they stole my converter
My 2001 honda civic ex, i did a full exhust, with headers, no cat, but a HKS resonator, is pretty good i must say, never gave me a problem, just i need hit Vtec to make it sound so good.
The car isn’t even loud 😂
I recognize the streets of Norman, OK when i see them!
Anyone that is concerned about the kind of crap this guy was talking about should not only never straight pipe their car, but should not be driving any type of sports car to begin with.
I dont think I've turned the stereo on in my car for more than 2 years cuz the only thing I wanna here is my exhaust and engine. That is truly music to my ears. And I certainly would never carry Fabreeze in my trunk for Christ sake. You would never find that goofy shit in my home more less my car.
Now, Im not saying this dude is a bad guy or anything. He is who he is. But if this is who you are then, buddy, car modding is not for you. Buy yourself a nice sensible grocery getting sedan and be who you were born to be lol.
+Dave Schiwal Once again, I will clarify why I made this video, and where I was going with it. I was hoping to talk to people who did not know as much about modding or were undecided on doing a large, illegal modification to their car's exhaust. I did it myself, and lived with it for just a little while at that point, so I could go over the pros and cons for people with just an axleback or a catback. I'm like you, I like a bit of sound in the cabin. Now as far as it goes for me being qualified to work on a car, then watch me replace all the brakes and one of my axle shafts in one of my earlier videos, I think I know what I'm doing to an extent :).
ri$erboi you cant help people when you yourself have no clue what your talking about.
Even the crow laughed when he stalled
Sentra straight pipe 😂😂😂😂
Mans did this video with a cop next to him. Biggest balls of 2018 (its 2023 and this thing says 5 years ago)
You have a resonator so therefore it's not straight pipe you nooB
Damn that thing is fast! Sooo loud too. My ears are still ringing. The chicks must love it
Does a straight pipe affect gas mileage?
CopyCat Airsoft no
CopyCat Airsoft sometimes. just depends on how you drive. if you just floor it everywhere then you'll use more gas.
Colby and if you have a straight pipe, you usually floor it most of the time 😂
Probably made the car slower by losing back pressure lol.
+CopyCat Airsoft Surprisingly, my mileage went from 20 MPG to 23 MPG. In some cases it does improve because of less restriction.
i have a red 07’ toyota solara and it’s straight piped. people love it 😂
Is this like sarcastic video :) if it is, it is quite funny :) thumbs up
Looks pretty serious to me
+Andrew Wilkinson When it came to the girl part I wasn't too serious about it. Having a loud exhaust does make you very self conscious though.
ri$erboi no it doesn't, oh you must care what people think, in that case you shouldn't make videos anymore cause all your going to get is people like me that go through and point out all the flaws in all of your comments.
@@rierboiwithans are you serious man?Since i straight piped mines I am feeling better than ever and mines doesn’t even look like a ricer car it’s a 2006 Hyundai Sonata..the video is on my channel
Come on down to the south and stay for a while, my neighbors Prius is louder than that car 😂😂😂
Jaw game strong😂😂
+Flash Gordon You know it 👍
5:28
*stalls the car in the beginning of video* *proceeds to teach about straight pipes* the whole vid is like a high schooler learning to write an essay...
ok he never mentioned im a friend of his and i drive a bmw z3 convertible and being behind him it makes it hard to breath and makes me suffocate fallowing him anywhere so if you ever get ride of your cat think of the people behind you and just to throw this out there F emission Laws
+Beemerboi The real upside is that the smell reminds everyone behind me that they got beat by a Sentra 🚗🔥💨
Starting up my straight piped terminator cobra scares the shit out of people lmao
+Victor Erazo That's why it's on the list lol
1:07 cop watching his loud exhaust in the background
Very glad I watched this before doing this, thank you for the video/info
I mean there goes our planet
No joke, just look it up
+Tim Fuck the planet, I want pops and bangs.
ri$erboi yea, that's what I thought
Tuebert fuck, it hurt why didn't you warn me the sun was up there
Shut up and buy Prius
People driving in front of him prolly looked in their rear view and we’re confused af
Your car sounds like a weed wacker..... only cars that should be straight piped are performance cars not commuters
+Ryan S By your logic a Focus RS can be called a "commuter" 😂. People can get Sentra Spec Vs to run 12 second quarter miles with a turbo and a tune. People build race cars out of them. People build rally cars out of them. Nissan made a Spec V touring car for a reason. The business of 2j racing is almost entirely centered around parts for Spec Vs. Look, just because I'm not a lemonade stand millionare doesn't mean I have to drive a stock Camry, if the exhaust makes me happy, that's all I give a fuck about, but a Sentra Spec V isn't just a "commuter" if you know about the potential the cars can have.
ri$erboi you know what im going to help you out with this one. You need a B5 A4 1.8t of a 2.8 30 valve v6. Either of those are cheap to upgrade and cheap to obtain. Just look them up.
4:03 i feel like im watching the intro to ferris buellers day off 😂
Would a straight pipe sound good on a Honda civic 1997?
+Mamel Probably not. Watch Broke Boys because they did it.
No...
You'll sound like every rice Honda out there.
It doesn't ever sound good.
Thanks for the info
Just delete your muffler and keep your cat. Or it will sound like angry bee's.
get a straight pipe and get a nice performance muffler
The exhaust smell is so bad that he had to wear a mask in his profile pic.
I actually can't tell if this is incredible satire or not
5:23 I'm about to show you..what makes it really nice: nothing happens/can't hear anything/makes wierd face while shifting lol
And that my friends was 3000rpm. HAHAHA
I see you got the OK tag, always good to see Okies having fun !!! cheers !!!
Thanks lol
in Florida we don't have to worry about any of this, I had a V8 with headers and 3inch pipes we don't have a noise ordinance here or emission testing
I drive my parents 04 Dodge Ram 1500 which the exhaust essential rusted off and was hanging by the hangers and dragging on the road, the hangers were seized up so our neighbor cut the exhaust off for us, it was loud before since it was aftermarket, but no it is much louder, my friends love it and always get me to rev it when i drive home.
“And that my friends...was only 3k rpm”
He’s too dangerous to be kept alive
His car isn’t even loud I just straight piped mine up to the catalytic converter so it’s more like a cat back exhaust but it’s louder than his.the video is on my channel 👍
