Default Gutting Cats???? good or bad??

Is there any need in having my cats removed..... Will there be any performance gains..... Will you hear the cam lope better......Can I just have my 02 sensor codes removed, without something going wrong???

nothing will be wrong with removing the cats, have your tuner remove the code the for ses light and enjoy a little louder exhaust. extra ponies, maybe, maybe not, there are mixed reviews here about that.. mine are off and staying off.

Well I just want the cam to be more noticable.... And i have always liked loud exhaust...

Do you think it will be a compliment to the small cam I have... or will it just sound shity and kill my low end.... I mean I have a little low end

My 60' was a 2.3 on stock tires

it didn't kill my low end and i can now hear my small cam from removing the cats. in fact, mine were on the verge of being clogged so i feel like it picked up a little bit on the bottom and up top. now with the cutout open, it sounds so freakin loud that it's almost unbearable for me.

I put mine back on because it sounded like *** to me. I noticed no gain or loss.

mine sounds fine until it gets ready to shift. that is the only part of the sound that i don't like. it gets a little raspy.

Ive heard that running lean on a big shot of nitrous is nothing to worry about. Gut em, spray away, and run 87 oct. Dont worry, youll be ok. Oh yeah, bring a big duffle bag with you to pick up the pieces of your engine that will be scattered all along the highway.
