Cats I'm just curious if yall think removing the catalytic converters on my bird is worth it? I want it to be loud as can be, I have the Borla Adjustable cat back thats all the way open and it doesn't seem to quite do it for me. I want it louder but I don't have the money to buy LT's or a exhaust cutout(s).
I just made a thread exactly like this. You can look there to see their advice.

Most of them said not worth it just try to wait until lt and ORY. I am in the same boat as you.
Taking them off would make them way louder. I just dont know if you lose power or not from it. Well at least low end.

I know of at least one CETA on base that has the cats removed, and it sounds terrible. I don't know much it has to do with the rest of the exhaust setup, but when I hear it I think 
and 
at the same time. Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but I'd be embarrassed to have my car sound like that.

From my experience, itll be louder, sound raspy/nasty and youll notice the smell of exhaust...I wouldn't recommend it... I know you stated you dont have money for a cutout but just try to come up on $120 and get the electric summit racing cutout. Or get a manual cutout (way cheaper)...
