straight pipes, I was never crazy about the magnaflows with their sound. Are you still running cats? take them off if you can and put an x pipe in with no muffler dumped right behind the axle. that would sound bas ***.

i heard from an exhaust shop that it would run like **** and get horrible gas mileage without cats.If it doesnt then most definetly i will take them off.

So that doesn't happen, you'll need some rear O2 simulators. They trick the PCM into thinking your cats are still there.

You will probably notice a loss in low end torque if you do that! If you install long tube headers and remove the cats and have it Tuned for that setup, then you'll gain a gob of power and torque all the way around. But.........if you do delete the cats and muffler.....have it tuned for Cat delete.

Torque is right on, I have taken off cats and then put Lts on and then tuned and the Lt's with out cats and a tune is a huge difference and the sound is so much better.
