I removed mine on a 2000 Trans Am. It makes it sound "throatier" just remember your check engine light would come on. I removed mine because i added headers, so i couldn't tell you the difference on stock manifolds. I am in college and also on a budget, but if you could you should save up the $375 and get some pacesetter LT's that way you can remove them and it will sound great. It'll also cost about 125 for a y-pipe and everything should bolt up. Plus you will have a lot more power!!
just my opinion

I think you'll like no cats on that exhaust even less. If you like the Loudmouth, just save up for it.
