my car is a 383 and im still running the stock exhaust with a spintech muffler but it still feels restrictive would removing the cats and installing straight pipes help
my car has a canister on the left side of the motor is this a cat and can it be gutted if it is

You should be able to, if you remove the y-pipe of course and punch the catalist out. Im not sure how long it would take to nock it out. I have a 95' TA with a single cat and am planning on gutting mine too. Also I woud only do it if the o2 sensor is before the converter ,which it should be.

You'll fail inspection in CA if you remove the cat. If you gut the cat you might be ok and still pass emissions. But you're not going to pick up any real power from removing or gutting it. If it's clogged then you should replace it. What makes you think your exhaust is really restrictive?

the car doesnt feel responsive it did before i put the seafoam in it my mech told me the carbon deposit's the seafoam cleaned out might of clogged the cat and it just doesnt feel as fast ad it use to be is there an after market pipe i can buy for the lt1 shorties all the y pipe's ive found are for lt's or is it possible to modify my y pipe
Punch e'm and put o2 sims on it. If it is a dual cat you will have to cut the pipe behind the passenger side cat to get into to punch it. You can do the driver side through the top. You have to take off the y-pipe though but I am sure that was already a given it makes it much easier. emissions is for Hondas
