If you're worried about boost creep. just port and increase the size of the waste port/flapper... Not a big deal
But how did it SOUND?
Why waste your time with losers investors when you can earn up too $1200 with only $100 minimum investment Ask me how to get started
Way more power =7hp! Frankly I would rather have clean air?
This is a legit learning video
WHAT YOU CALL A STRAIGHT PIPE WAS CALLED IN THE AUTO PARTS STORES WHO SOLD THEM "TEST PIPES". THIS IS HOW THEY GOT AROUND IT.
took my cat off in my 85 monte carlo 305, and she sounds a little raspy but when I get some mufflers should sounds nice, also switch up to an x pipe soon.
14:45
My stupid ass looking at the title confused: "Why and how do you delete a frickin' cat?!"
How do you know you're friend's window broke because he didn't disconnect the battery?
You guys live my dream life
I already know how to weld it’s pretty easy now but the only thing is tig is fucking hard but once you get the hang of it it’s easy also I’m surprised you don’t have a tan 😂😂😂😂😂 with that shirt what your secret
Would love to see the same thing but with a NA engine!!
Your mig gun cable should be kept as straight as possible to prevent bird nest. And you didn’t wear a jacket which is not good as mig welding produces several different lights, infrared, ultraviolet, and there’s another I can’t think of and it produces radiation, not wearing proper ppe is rather reckless.
Just put your cat back in before you need an emissions test 😂
Next on EPA's list for huge fine for stupidly removing his cat.
I want to delete my wife's cat. Not the catalytic converter in her car. I mean her pet.
Nice eye protection, should stress how important.
Why not a new high flow converter
5:38 the “machin” xd
I LOVE cardboard and sharpie note pad. Am I the only one?
lol, Rhodium or ROADium!
It's always worth it, power, sound, crackle, all you need is a simulator to get around it
You’re in LB area which equals illegal, not worth it in my book. Plus think of the environment....just saying
Okay so I’m sorry to do this but it’s not a torch it’s a freaking whip know your facts
The biggest benefit of a cat delete is the reduced risk of it clogging and overheating the exhaust and cylinder with backed up heat
Paul rudd look alike
Would love to see the same thing but with a NA engine!!

I can just imagine the EPA knocking on your door after you made this video

How old was the “stock”cat? Need a new cat to compare if it was used as old cats do have hairballs
Skip to14:40 if you can weld and are interested only in the results
I need a miata!!!

Zachary, please come home. We’re worried about you ever since you left with that “car from Japan” you kept going on about. Your mother and I miss you very much. Love, dad. P.S. Please do a video on high torque starters and if its worth it. The old Camry doesn’t turn over like it used to.
That’s a ton of hp on a Miata
Came her for a cat delete, got a math lesson and a bandsaw plus welding tutorial. ☝
Miata LSD next!
Breaks down every aspect of welding and proceeds to weld with no gloves. Awesome
Loud
Cancer exists so wear long sleeves when ur welding.
Body kits in Miata
Good to see I'm not the anyone that uses pieces of cardboard and a marker.
It's just not worth deleting the cat in my opinion. Crazy why so many people do that on their daily driver.
Ah, the good old test pipe. Something I've done on nearly every Honda I've ever owned, much to my neighbor's dismay. I eventually got smart and just did header back exhausts but before I had money, cat deletes with a ghetto ass test pipe rigged in it's place was the ticket baby. Who cares if it made more power, it sounded like it did and that's all that mattered to 19yr old me.
How the hell do leave hands bare in the beginning!,
I need a miata!!!
Musics please n grace yawl
graceth***
Anyone else just think to themselves “Damn, his hair is fantastic” ?
If you add a blow-off valve, you can blow off the excess pressure on the intake side. Cheaper than a new turbo.
0:36 "we got a welding machine."
13:22 --this explanation has rap meme written all over it. All the moves are moved.
Grind the wastegate hole. This was always a common mod for Mitsubishi turbos with internal wastegates. The flapper is plenty big enough to cover a larger hole, but the wastegate hole itself wasn't big enough to bypass enough exhaust gas, hence it goes through the turbine itself, increasing your boost. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours or so to pull the turbine housing off and grind that sucker. I saw you were making about 235 and I guessed you'd make at least 250 with the cat bypass. Cat bypasses are no joke. If you're trying to make power at the track, a cat bypass is a no-brainer. PS- I love all of Zach's content. He's great, and he's taught me a lot. Dude knows what the hell he's doing!
You need a 2 post! Hate to see people with your level of talent still, roughing it, on the concrete!!! Lol
Cool vid!!! It’s hard to make an apples to apples comparison, Jew to mapping, but really, higher exhaust flow when tuned in gonna make more power. Love the Chanel 👌🏻👊🏻
I have a catted bbk xpipe on my mustang and I’m constantly messing with the tune and upstream 02 sensors. Regardless what you run I see a lot of young kids pulling cats off their cars and the fuel trims are off the wall getting 3mpg and running like dog poo pop
It’s still a Miata at the end of the day is 4 horsepower worth it? leave your cats on for emissions and smells.
For 5 hp just keep the cat, be legal don't pollute that much and be cool at your inspection ...
If I wanted to see ads, I wouldn't be paying for youtube premium.
7:40 classic , no matter you have equipment we do it the way we like it
Add a few drops of oil or wd40 while it cuts. It will help it cut, reduce heat and save you on blades.
I wonder what this experiments results would be in a N/A engine like an LS or a BMW S62?
I bloody hate advertisements
Y que pasa si le montas un catalistico mucho más grande ..
Not that I would ever do this myself ***cough*cough*** but I have "heard" you can remove the cat, beat all the innards out, then put it back on the car. If the cat goes bad, that may help a few people that do not have the $800 replacement cost (for my car).
Zach: takes catalytic converter off EPA: *angry non-car people noises*
Great test. I think you need a bigger Boost set up so that we can see the real difference. Or maybe just go naturally aspirated. I'm pretty sure though if you have a exhaust manifold catalytic converter a header works better.

5:34 MACHÍN MACHÍN!!!
So when your neighbor's kid dies from an asthma attack at least you have a 1.5% power increase to take the edge of your guilt. Hell, he may have died anyway.
Anyone else just think to themselves “Damn, his hair is fantastic” ?
Hot Rod Magazine did a similar test several years ago at West Tech Dyno and conclude very little difference between Cat and No-Cat. The length of the pipe from the engine to the back of the car was way more of a factor, along with mufflers.
Oh so the cat in my camaro isn't just supposed to a straight shot through? Interesting...
Welding without gloves not a good idea lol
5:08 When the character in the movie says the name of the movie in a normal sentence 🙆🏾♂️
At this point why have an exhaust
its not worth removing it for extra 2% power ... i thought it would be more lol
While he was trying to explain how to use the smelter thing i was sitting here thinking of a potato with wires connected to a clock.
🧑🦯🧑🦯 the camera guy after looking at the flashes
6:00 what happened to your thumb?
Remember that bigger turbos that have more lag are going to like a test pipe better because they will support faster also once you make power good luck keeping a catalytic converter they melt like a bitch
Should have used stainless and tig
What is the suggested start time of the video to skip the bull.
Sure beats the hp you get with bad cats. Remember to replace catalytic converters at 150k to 200k miles or if you're vehicle ever puts oil or coolant out of the tail pipe. A blown ring or head gasket sucks, but it sucks worse when you have to turn around and do a second rebuild because a bad catalytic converter toasted the engine.
my eyes hurt.
Then why not just run two...??...cause it's a global warming scam .....just for politicians, and capitalism to make mandatory money....aaack, aaack....and how come they haven't made converters for those cow farts that californication is raging about...😳😝....whaaat.?!?...shattered his rear window..?!?..by welding .?!?......and ya got to weld inside the flange too....uh huh....and you still have to tune when making mods...otherwise yer creating worse tunes....
Made way more power ? Increase was @2.5%
Cutting one off tomorrow because it's clogging

Get a Nissan leaf electric motor - gear that Son of a Bish 1 to 1 - and hook it up to power a turbo and get some injectors that are 20 times bigger - then Bob's your Auntie.
The opposite boat independently close because laura statistically walk as a tan goose. cultured, deserted train
Honeycomb....I saw squares
That is one fast Miata, almost forgot how fast it is over stock even though I watched the whole build.
Sure its worth it if you don't want to pass emissions
😎🇺🇸
What happens to the Oxygen Sensor if I straight pipe 🤔
a cat delete is worth it if you dont mind giving any one standing behind the car cancer and other health issues from Carbon Monoxide
I am rather the dog human anyway, delete all cats xD
Wear welding gloves and sleeves kids.
csworld.info/mem/video/e9uiaHahu2eReqk.html - cats keep the exhaust sounding good and not raspy too!
How does is sound?
So they got 5 more hp
