i had an off road y pipe on my car (got one for cheap off the board so that i could eventually switch back to my stock y pipe for emissions testing), ses light came on, no problems with the car at all, just that brigh yellow glow that after a month i finally got used to it but then picked up some simms. im not sure if its different w/ gutted cats but i wouldn't think so.

Did you punch out the honey comb looking thing inside the cats? If you did the cats are damaged and no longer can be used, if you put them back on the computer will throw on a code. When it comes to HP wise there is no differance maybe a little but I am sure your car will sound a lil mean but I would not put them on if I were you.
