Default Replaced gutted cats

With straight pipes. Man it sounds so much better. I did this last night, and had some bad leaks. Today I dropped the whole exhaust from the collector back and installed my cut out. It seems to have the raspyness it picked up, but I havnt really driven it yet. I'll let yall know more tomorrow.

And I thought I was old It is a little agrivating. I do most of my driving on the interstate. It has a bad rasp at about 2000 rpm, but other than that I like it.
