Exhaust Popping I got a 02 ss and starting to do my exhaust I had stock muffler on it and when I reved it would pop or rasp so I put a magnaflow on it and it got rid of it, but my ? is I am buying pacesetter LT's and thinking of removing my cats is this gonna make it rasp alot or not. Or if anyone has this setup could you post a video up so I would have a idea before I waste money. Last ? is it true you gain almost 50 horsepower with this setup?

From what i hear, Magnaflows are a great choice if you don't want rasp with further mods (headers, no cats, cam, etc...) I would go with Magnaflow if you are getting headers and removing the cats...however if it were me i would spend a bit more and throw on a GMMG exhaust! Make sure you complete the entire exhaust system and add an air lid! But 50hp from those mods you listed is a bit high, i would say probably between 25-30hp max.

would I have to get a tune if I removed the cats. Do the pacesetter make a rasp sound that bad because i really like those headers and the price is not that bad. I already have a magnaflow catback

You will have to do something about the rear O2 sensors. Either get sims or have them deleted from the computer. You don't necessarily need a full tune. I gained 17rwhp with headers(with cats).

The only way to completely rid yourself of lift-throttle popping is to tune it out. You really should tune the car if installing headers and cat-back...or you'll never realize the true gains from the mods.
