Unless you have a built high compression motor or a turbo motor it will do nothing for you. Maybe even lose power

What does better airflow buy you?
It will be loud, buzzy, and smell bad. One day when we can't breath, I might just come to your house to take a dump on your chest.

Just get a custom high flow cat (carsound/magnaflow)
No need for a bottle neck in the exhaust sys.

Re: Thinking about remove the cat converter and replace it with a test pipe (23-10)
i have a test pipe with ws2. it is still not loud at all, but a slightly raspy tone is there. overall volume is only slightly louder than what it was with the cat. the smell is distinct but not the end of the world. overall, people make it out to be worse than it is- but it is still not worth it. i am going back to a cat once i get around to it.
