how did you accidentally shift back into 2nd? first off, your exhaust sounds like complete @!#$ because you have no you have no serious work and no boost, put a catalytic converter back on it. it's illegal without one, and your car will regain performance on the low end. YOUR EXHAUST NEEDS SOME BACKPRESSURE. what RPM were you at when you downshifted into 2nd from 3rd gear? I assume you were trying to shift into 4th which would put you at 5900 or so am I correct?

First, I dont recall him asking if it was legal to have a cat, if it was there I sure missed it. Plus he probably knows that it is illegal, as well as street racingi s, and like me just doesn't give a damn. Were not here to critic his life, just answer the question.

Second, YOU DONT RACE AT LOW RPMS, SO THE CAT IS OF NO USE DURING RACING, but is does restrict the flow of exhaust at high rpm's, which is in the rpm band that people race in.

Lastly, IF UR NOT GONNA HELP, WHICH YOUR POST PROVED TO BE USELESS, THEN JUST SIT DOWN AND STFU!!!

Now to answer the REAL question at hand without any criticing of your lifestyle or driving skills. In order for me to help you I need to know what kind of sound is the car making. Is it popping, crackling, raspy, or just loud? How did the car sound before this incident? How long have you had the catless exhaust? Did the govenor kick in?

Answer these questions and I might be able to help you. GL
