Default Hooker cat back????

I have searched for an answer but have not found one yet so I thought I would ask here. On the hooker catback system it looks like the muffler looks like its easy to bolt on and off. Has any done this insead of putting a cut on? I know this is probly a stupid question. Can you guys give me some insite on the hooker catback. Likes and dislike's.

i have one on my 94 and 98 like both of them .its one of the best flowing mufflers. i have taken my muffler off and didnt notice any change in power at the track and times didnt reflect and change either. it sounds amazing with long tubes and no cats just like a muscle car should sound like.

One more vote for the hooker CB, I have removed it at least 10 times for fuel pump issues and other things. Just took it out today to weld in a wide band bung it the Y pipe, very easy.

Super easy to put on and take off. Plus 1 for a great catback. Sounds incredible.
