Many people around here run with gutted cats/no cats, and they seem fine.

I just did the high-flow one. Obviously more expensive, but as good as you can legally get.

You want some. No backpressure, and you'd have no get-up-and-go, no low end.

BTW, iwhitne, how do you like your BFG AT-KO tires? I was going to go with the Bridgestone Revos for my next tire set, but the BFGs are supposed to be just as good and have better tread life.

You don't want backpressure, you want exhaust gas velocity.[sm=americanasmiley.gif]

You definitely want some back pressureWithout it,you lose your low end,which is exactly what you don't want.

As said earlier,yes it's definitely the cheaper way to go,but a "no" cat vehicle will not perform better than a "Good" Cat vehicle.

A high flow cat is the way to go.First,it's legal,second you will still get the flow you want giving you better performance,but still have your off the line power.

I know many here run no cats,and I do not mean to put down anyone here that does run no cat.Just my experience with customers I have dealt with who have done it both ways.I have gotten much better feedback from customers who have went from no cat to a high flow.
