I personally dont like cats but I wouldn't chop ur kooks. Trade someone ur high flow catted connectors for the catless ones and some cash...
The catted connectors are $440 or so new. Catless are $240. Unless u just don't care about the $$$... Then chop em up lol

Off subject but has anyone heard of those kooks high flow cats having issues melting and clogging? It might have been bs but I was told the kooks cats had issues with that. I ordered the catless connectors for my kooks and I still have the catted set brand new (that I'm selling) but... If I install the headers and it's too loud or raspy with the catless connectors, as long as noone has had any issues with the catted connectors, I may give them a shot to see which way sounds better.
Btw OP, there is said to be a slight performance gain to be had going catless over catted but I'm sure it's such a small amount that it's really negligible... Especially with those high flow cats. So if you're doing it for performance only, it won't be a big difference.
