    ok now i know sound shouldnt matter but while i cant afford a new cat back system and headers, i was wondering if cutting out the cat and straight piping it back to my muffler will sound alot better than witht the cat in... will it help proformance???? os is this a waste of money....

    ps im not getting a full exaust so im looking for a quick extra bost of sound and maybe a bit of preformance. thanks....

    It might be a little louder but you wont pass emissions and it is illeagul. Get a Flowmaster replacement muffler for all of $80 that will sound lots nicer.

      I agree - you can't beat that option for sound alone... and you will pickup a few horsies (1-5) at the same time [img]smile.gif[/img] .

          Well - I wouldn't gut or cut out the cat. I just wouldn't do it.

          But here are some other cheapskate ideas:

          Install a cutout just after the catalytic converter - ~$30

          Buy a Dynomax SuperTurbo muffler - ~$45
