That's a good idea. It was like $140. Lol but then I would feel bad because my parents paid for the whole system. And where I'm from you can get in some trouble if you don't have a cat. Lol

All the more reason to just leave it.

Your asking for trouble cutting off your cat, especially if they have emissions testing. How old are you? Do you realize it is a federal offense to tamper with manufacturer installed pollution control equip? Not that others have not done the same thing. But just think of the attention your going to draw to yourself with a loud, obnoxious sounding truck.....I know, I know.....I was young once myself. First thing I did on my Camaro in high school was cut off the cat and run true straight pipe duals. Man I was soooo cool!!!

I removed the cat on my truck, still got the stock muffler, it's a little loud, it'll get quieter after I install a different muffler...

and this is why i'm glad they dont do testing in my city i cut the cat off and gutted it the day i got it.... with 45k miles on the clock i love how my truck sounds with a gutted cat and a super 44 flow master... its quiet on the inside of the cab and has a nice deep idle but it can be heard from about 100 yards away when i'm on it.

If you ditch the cat, why don't you put some kind of muffler on there as to not draw attention too much?

Just leave the cat on, loudness does not equal sounding good!

Depends on a lot of factors. My truck just passed last month, every single emissions device has been removed or tampered with in violation of federal law.

Doesn't make it legal, but it only matters if you're caught
