Default Long tubes and ORY ?

Ok i have gutted cats right now. Will i still see a gain over the gutted cats if i spend the buck$$$$ and buy some long tubes with the ORY pipe ?

Or is that the gain i am going to see is just the less restriction from the hollowed CATS!.
Thanks

Do you still have the stock exhaust manifolds? If you do then you will definitely see a good gain with long tubes.

Exactly! If you don't already have headers.......What are you waiting for!! I hemmed and hawed for a while before deciding to get some and I really wish I had gotten them sooner. Better sound, much better power and a great place to start with the modding. I gained a lot of power, a lot of time at the track, and 3 miles per gallon.

My exhaust i have now is a custom set up, it is a CME mount stlye exhaust with the dyno mouth setup. I have custom D port flange's that go from 1-2 in 1 pipe. It took them 4 hour's to make this.
I wanted to be different and make it to my liking. Because a lot of people have the same thing, this goes along with why i went with black wheels because everyone has chrome.

Be ready for LOUD with LTs! But you will definately see a gain with some long tubes, especially if you mod more later. As for the stock Y pipe with gutted cats.. it doesn't hold a candle to an actual off road Y.
