Do you mean you already have LT's? You can not run a stock Y pipe with LT's. Not without stupid amunts of fab work anyhow.

If you mean you still have stock manifolds, then yes you can take the stock cats off and cut them. Personally I think it's pretty pointless, the HP and noise gain won't be light and day and the hassle involved for it just seems pointless.

I see this to be the kind of you do when you have no money.

Something to do, but to no real advantage.

Or to put it another way, no body has ever lost a race because they didn't cut their cats.

I may have sounded a little anti it.

Seriously loads of people will proabably say do it. And in reality it won't cause any harm and should free up a pony or two.

It really is personal preference.

The sound alone makes it worth the effort.
