I have mine gutted. It is louder. Allot louder, it sounds mean. You will need O2 sims, so the check engine light won't come on.

Without the cats, I believe you would pickup 4 or 5 Horsepower. I took mine off with FLP's system. Saves a little weight and gain power. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
