Mazda b3000 exhaust

[Vanyuha]

Hello, first time on this website and i dont know if im posting in the right topic. Anyways i had couple questions about my 1994 Mazda b3000. Everyone tells me that if the car is 1994 and under you are alloud to take off your cat exhaust and just straight pipe it, and i was wondering if anyone from manitoba here knows if that is legal. Anyways another question is my original fuel pump died and we put a ford ranger fuel pump on it which works fine and i dont know what kind of ranger. Anyways when i fill up my truck it runs fine, but when it runs down to about 1 quarter of a tank and i stop on stop sings it starts stallin for some reason anyone had that problem before? THanks

first things first, it's a federal offence to remove the cat. regarding the fuel pump. fuel gauges can be very innacurate, the pump pickup might not be going completely to the bottom of the tank.

Yep your not allowed anywhere to remove the Catalitic converter, the only time its legal is when it doesn't function and only then if you replace it with a properly working one.

oh and i forgot, i put it upside down because i had no room to put it flat like normal mufflers are, could that be a problem?

Mufflers need time to break in. What type of muffler did you get? like a super turbo or a turbo?

 

[Vanyuha]

its just a turbo

Well Give it a few weeks and some miles (make sure it gets to operating temperature) and drive it around for awhile.

If anything the less pipe should make it louder...
