yes i agree with extractors. The catback just carries the sound the is emited by the extractors and they are better free flowing anyways which is why they are such a popular mod. Also if you want a lumpier idle on a budget you could always unplug a vacume line

No not dangerous it'll just make your engine run like crap. Big cam and extractors/exhaust will do it though.

A lumpy idle after a while becomes very annoying. You just get every hoon wanting to race you. If you want your car to be a sleeper its hard to disguise.

If you want it lumpy sorry but just get yourself a V8 and be done with it.
