Loudmouth is a pretty cheap cat back. Its the most obnoxious thing Ive ever heard. I currently have one. Ive had it with and without cats. Its loud either way. Sounds like **** without cats though.

A Saws all is the cheapest thing! Or you can get a manual cut out that uses the wing nuts and put that before your muffler. I think there like 20 bucks. I wouldnt remove the cats unless you are gonna do headers unless theres a way to keep the rear o2's on it cuz it will run like shiznit with out them.

How cheap is cheap? Don't get into "removing" your cats...you'll most likely snap the bolts and end up with a headache for something that isn't even worth it. Two best choices would be get a cutout or replace your stock muffler with a piece of exhaust tubing. I vote for the muffler delete with a pipe in there.

No I didnt mean the Electric one get the one that uses a plate and wing nuts that you take off your self. I think an electric one is 150$ I never installed one though. How loud do you want it? If you want it loud all the time you can buy a single spiral flow muffler or a dyno max and hack off your exhaust and weld it up be for the axle with 1 turn down. That would only cost 50$ for the muffler and like 5$ for the turn down.
............and when no cops are around

Just put a cutout on the I pipe before the over the axle pipe. If you have cutouts right after the header and you still have knock sensors you run the risk of setting those sensors off, retarding your timing, and slowing the car down. A cutout sounds good with stock manifolds and cats, and also sounds good if you ever got headers/ORY

Well i guess with having a stock exhaust then your muffler is most likely welded on. But i have a borla bolt on exhaust and i just took the muffler off and it is alot louder. And i havent had any problem with cops yet.
