Default New times on my G8

I have an 09 G8 GT with about 5000k miles on it. I ran a best 13.23 @ 106.27 2.02 60ft. The car is catless and tuned by me. I ran in about 85-90 degrees and humid weather in southtexas so i think it running pretty good for the mods and the weather. Im sure i can get a 13.1 with some drag radials and dip into the 12s with better weather.

Haven't you ever heard of a hammering 2" pipe straight through the heart of the cats? Or just remove them and weld in a "test pipe", not that hard to be cat less w/o an aftermarket exhaust piece.

Hey when you're hell bent on going cat-less, nothing can stand in your way, you know what I mean.

I just took it to the muffler shop and they cut the cats off and put a straight pipe oh and they removed a muffler looking piece also and some resonators. So basically i left the stock mufflers and it's still really quiet.
