and ur nose! I absolutely hate the smell of cats, it makes me nausious!

I would try to get a turn down put on so all the exhaust isn't hitting the underside of your car. I'm not sure if it could do any damage but at least make sure your exhaust wont be shooting on any wiring or anything like that

Shouldn't cause any problems, it will sound terrible and be loud, until you get a real exhaust put on.

i think it will sound pretty good, similar to the loudmouth. He still has stock manifolds/cats

it would run fine, but sounds like complete *** at times. i just toook off my loudmouth, because im puting my stock piping back on when i put on my headers, so i ran around a lil while with stock manifolds and cats. I thought it was cool under wot, but thats it. it seems a lot louder than the loudmouth too, but thats probably because its right under you. i say go for it.

Pulled my Borla off and ran it open Y for about 3 months. Runs fine, just like an open cutout all the time.

if your not ready to take your catback off yet, don't worry about it. I thought you had stuff to replace it already.
