You might pick up a few extra whp with catless. You have to decide if it's worth the hassle. Do you have emissions testing where you are?

There's this thing you can do, it's called SEARCHING.

On a mildly modded bolt-on car, going catless might net you 2-4 extra hp, not really that much. The SLP Loudmouth catback is loud, like ear bleed loud. Undoubtedly you will frighten small children and horrify mothers. The drone at highway speeds is unbearable. You won't be able to listen to the stereo. Save up money for tickets because you will attract the attention of the police. You'll need to get tuned after installing headers.

I noticed a pretty big difference in performance when I had my headers and magnaflows installed..I got a tune as well though.

Get the LTs with catless mids and see what you think about the sound then. You'll get a big bump in performance from the LTs plus the deletion of the resonators and cats when you do it. The '04s had by far the best tone of any exhaust system and you'll be louder. Stupid loud is well, , , stupid.

I sure like my Magnaflow catback. Some will claim it's too quiet, but it's a lot louder than stock without being "stupid" loud or raspy. No drone at all either. Exhaust sound is rather subjective and different people like different exhaust systems.
