I just cut the cats out, I lost quite a bit of low end, but from 3k on it screams, if I had it to do over, I would wait until I could put in a 3k converter. The sound is great, but it does lack at lower rpm's.

I got some pretty good number increases....They are not typical... But i had been runnin alittle rich... and they were MELTED
I went to the dyno before and after and got around 22rwhp and around 28rwtq..
Pretty good.... so I would say go for it...

I dont have a stall and I actually felt some gain in the low end and you can really feel it on the high end.... but mine had 84kmiles on them so they might of been a little plugged that is why I felt some gain???
