Cutout. Best muffler for anyone on a high school budget.

What is the point of gutting the cat?

It's just a ghetto thing you can do yourself.

It's better to just put a straight pipe in place of the cat. You can find a shop that will do it, even in CA. You might have to tow the car there but you can find someone who will do it. Or just take the exhaust to a fabricator and say "put a straight pipe here". You can sell the cat(s) afterward to recover some of the cost.

Pretty much, except gutting the cat can (arguably) create turbulence, so a straight pipe would be better.

Yes, it serves the same purpose. But unless you do it perfectly it's not going to be as good.

Gutting the cat will cost you time and money str8 piping where the cat was and selling the cat will make you money....and increase sound a bit

Like everyone says, a cut out will be the most loud and aggressive while staying cheap.
