I think they sound like crap. They are real loud and Annoying, and they make the exhaust sound like crap at least the ones I have heard. It would be better to get like a Carsound or Catco high flow cat, than gutting your cat, because you can cause problems with the way the car will run, and you can get codes as a result of gutting your cat.
