im not sure how big my pipe is but i have it straight piped from the cat back and have dual 4" tips. mine is pretty loud and its the stock cat. so i imagine it would be a ton louder without the cat. right?

i would think a gutted cat would be the same as no cat. but my truck should be louder than it is. a 1 chamber flowmaster isn't far from straights

you can use a spark plug non fouler to "trick" the rear O2 sensor. Or buy an O2 simulator.
