what does "gutted the cats" mean by the way nice dodge and the sound is a beautty

[01DodgeRam360]

Gutting the cat is just referring to the act of removing all of the internal components to a catalytic converter. If you were to take your cat off and look down it, it would look like a bee's nest. To remove all of that material using a dremel bit on a powerdrill is a good way to tear it up. If you do gut your cat, it's a good idea to put a piece of pipe down the middle of it though so it doesn't cause an akward flow of velocity in the exaust system.

alright thx. lol, 1 more question. how much of a pain in the ass was it to install. im worried about the stock manifold bolts and breaking them. how did you do it??

[01DodgeRam360]

Not a problem. As far for the install, I wouldn't know personally because I hired an exhaust shop to put them in. From the impression I got from the installer, however, it sounded like he had a pretty difficult time getting the old bolts out and even cracked one off inside the head but was able to get it out. If you do it yourself, it's very wise to spray a product called PB Blaster all over the bolts and let them soak a couple of days in advance before the project.

alright thx a bunch man, how are the power gains? and did it change the sound?

[01DodgeRam360]

Yes, the sound did change with the headers. If you look through my videos it lists the modifications; you can see how it gets a little more raspy after they were installed.  As far as power gains, they weren't substantial but it definitely set the truck away from the pack. I routinely could beat other dodge ram trucks with comparable drivetrains.

in this video did you have a gutted cat or have a piece of pipe through it?

[YouraN1993R]

When I'm down, I come watch this video and then I get a huge ass boner. This is the most badass sounding truck I have ever heard in my life. I can't believe you sold this.
