I hear that when you remove the cats the SES light comes on...what is that all about?? Did you get more performance once you removed the cats or did you just want some more of that low, aggressive hum that comes out of those bad-boys...Oh, and by the the way Cuz, I did not copy your setup, i just liked the way it sounded and decided on going Borla....and the reason we ended up with the same setup is...mainly...coincidence

Deletion of the cats pisses off the rear 02's. PCM throws CAT efficiency codes. I havent taken mine off yet but want to. Some say they gained a bit after they removed them. Usually gets louder and raspy when you take them off too. I heard a Borla cat-back with no plate on a WS6 a year or so ago with no cats and that sold me!

I think they're supposed to be cheaper and quieter.

might be a difference in chambers. i know mine has 3 chambers and is quieter. i think the pro-xs might have 2 chambers and is louder

I believe just cheaper in price. Borla is good quality stuff and I don't think they would compromise their quality.
