My FVD exhaust system, Or sell and get a premade catless exhaust?? I have no problem with the work behind removing the cats, Just not sure if its worth taking out perfectly good cats out of a great exhaust. What would you guys do? Clearly the fact that i could remove the cats out of my exhaust in a day for free is great. Not sure i wan the headache of having to selling my exhaust to buy another...Might as well mod my current one??

Hi,What cell count cats do you have??....If they are 100 cell count ones,I dont think it would be that noticable unless you are heavily modified....Sorry to say but the other part of this is if you have good size piping in the muffler system to take advantage of gutting out the cats....No matter what piping size ,you should gain spool time and low mid range at least...This all depends on how modified you are...I have been there, done that,,,just sharing my info....Good Luck

Sell what you got. Get a componet system that lets you swap out cats/no cats, muffler/no muffler. I think several board sponsor make them. Or just keep the FVD and go nuts with some straight pipes. I don't know what type of smog test you have were you live, but it always wise to be able to put some cats back on to pass.

That exhaust flows REALLY good. I seem to recall the rear O2's already being coded out because of that. Gutting those cats will only ruin a very, very expensive exhaust system, and likely not notice a seat of the pants results.
