U bend behind catalytic converter

[SgtMarshal]

When I started modding this car, I had a mechanic install the headers, and when he did, he left the U bend behind the catalytic in place instead of using the downpipe that came with the headers. I'm wondering if this is causing much, if any, restriction. The car is a 2001, and I wanted to keep the rear O2 sensor because of the catalytic converter diagnostic. I have since disabled the diagnostic so I don't care if I keep the rear O2 sensor and the catalytic converter. I have Speed Daddy headers, and with the little amount of searching I have done, have not been able to find another Speed Daddy header downpipe. So I am wondering if the catalytic converter that I have and the U bend behind it is causing enough of a restriction that I need to find something to find another downpipe to replace it with, and if so, has anyone tried a ZZPoop downpipe with Speed Daddy headers?

god lord, theres your low timing and kr issues. get rid of that asap.

[SgtMarshal]

not sure why I didn't notice this before.

[ItHurtz]

because your not your own mechanic, a reason why we all wrench our own crap, we know whats fking done!

[SgtMarshal]

what would be the cheapest, easiest solution to this?

[ItHurtz]

put your down pipe on

[Scottydoggs]

cut the u bend off the cat weld new pipe to a flange and bolt it back together, nothing a muffler shop cant handle. or buy a high flow cat, screw that stock crap.

Fixed

what difference would a glass pack make if I still have the stock resonator?

[ItHurtz]

Reduce rasp and drone, also replace the stock res with a glass pack.

Have the shop cut it out and run a straight pipe to the res, no cat no ubend

[WarStryker13]

I had to jump in before the lockdown, I couldn't resist...

Put the damn SD downpipe on and worry about the rest later.

[SgtMarshal]

[blueguy]
