Default Dont have cats anymore

Well i wanted to see how it sounded with out the stock cats on my truck. Went to my brothers house and unbolted everything. Marked the pipe infront of the cats, chopped them off with a band saw, got a sledge hammer and peice of all thread and got to work.

Got everything cleaned out and welded back up, cant even tell they have been removed, Still looks stock. But sounds MEAN!!!!
Still got the Magnaflow 6"RD 14" Case 3" SI/SO dumped over the axle.

All i got to say is WOW!
It has a nice tone while cruising, and part throttle turns heads, WOT=Awesome!

Goin to the stupid short track sat night to play, want to get a few more runs before the new tranny and TC goes in.

After i put a few miles on the TC and new tranny im goin back to the track to see what the 2800 Stall does for me. Then the STS is goin on. Joy, what fun!

That's a fun sound huh? So did you hollow them or put test pipes in? Do you have any rasp? I put test pipes in and have a flowmaster 30 series single in dual out and mine sounds like a mustang w/ an x pipe.
Nice quote btw.

not quite like that for sure.. i think the magnaflow keeps it pretty quiet. ill try to get a clip up tom if im not busy. i hollowed them out just for the heck of it. it doesnt have much of a rasp to it at all. I like it!!!

I recently ripped off my cats. I have true duals with an x pipe and single chambers. Now that **** is loud. It is a bit raspy. But i dont mind really. I lost a touch down low...but my gears make up what i lost. Really woke up in the higher rpms though.
