Shouldn't throw if you don't mess with the cat.

I removed my res and cat that's why I have thrown codes. Removing res and muffs won't throw codes, but it'll be loud, some cops may hassle you. Shouldn't any power, but I recommend throwing on an electric cutout instead of chopping off the res and muffs.

i agree with JP on this....if there is anytime you dont want it loud (only time for me is when im hungover) you can close it. makes it nice having both options.
