Default Went from cats to no-cats!

and have to admit, I love the new sound!!!!!!! No idea if I will get any more power, or lose any from it, but damn its sounds good. Also, had my piece of crap Borla tips taken off, and new ones put on. The new tips look alot like the GMMG ones. Now I just need to get the dang cam installed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Get ready for a stinkfest..... removal of the cats has a tendency to make the exhaust smell <img src="http://smilies.crowd9.com/contrib/edoom/fart.gif" alt=" - " />

taking the cats off have not done anything but good for me. i could tell a power gain along with a louder sound. my exhaust never stunk, but then again i dont really get down and smell it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Glad you like it without cats. I'm also running an ORY and love the sound with my Magnaflow muffler. I smell doesn't even bother me, in fact I kinda like it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Edit: badazz99ta, did I read your sig right? 10.64 @ 101.37mph?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
