the gains wouldn't be that great, and you would fail emmissions tests, if you have them. why don't you just buy a tests pipe?

Gains would increase slightly, just change it to a test pipe its much lighter too.

If you just drive it on the street dont hollow out the damn cat, the gains will be hardly noticeable and you dont even need that extra 2 hp for driving around town.

If you're going to race the car every once in awhile, throw in a cutout or something so you can easily bypas the cat when you need to, but still let the cat do it's duty when just driving around.

why the heck do you have 2 cats anyway?

i have two cats because i replaced my whole exhaust with a ITR one along with the ITR cat. So my friend said we should hollow the regular one out and see what gains it gives me and everything.
