Removing Cat Converter

[Ben70_imp]

HBFL -Don't know about gutting the cat, but out of curiosity since my fine pre-owned beauty came with a full Yoshimura exhaust (no cat) I found a graph on the web put out by Yosh indicating a gradual increase in hp compared to stock beginning about 5k with up to about 6 hp by redline. Personally I spend a very small percent of my time at those rpms and I feel like the improved sound (tone, noise, etc.) is MY biggest fun from the mod, and your mods may have already gained you that. I would be hesitant to gut the cat in view of the possibility that Big Brother might take an interest down the road. Call me paranoid, because I am.
