A lot of places are going to shut you down for not having cats! I think that's the main reason why people stay away from off-road pipes...smog regulations suck in some states...not Oklahoma!
As far as performance, it will be a minimal difference between high-flow cats and no cats at all.
And with those Flowtechs no cats is going to be VERY loud. And a lot of people are turned off by that.
just my $.02

I daily drive my car so putting cats in was a no-brainer because I didn't want to smell unburned fuel. Guess what? I can through these high-flow ones. It's not that bad though but I now question my ability to pass a sniffer test.

yes catted are a good bit more. what im doing is getting ory pipe with my headers and saving my stock crap for inspections, im never in my home state so i only have to get inspected once every 2 to 3 years so the switch should be worth the hastle.
