Unless your making some serious power, there is really no need to gut the cat or run a test pipe. Not worth the power and the hidden damage your really causing...

why? What else do you have done to your engine that you're looking at putting in a test pipe? If you dont have LOTS of supporting mods, you're probably only looking to gain between 1-2hp. not worth it. You breath air. You can live without 2hp. Your car will be stinky, sound like ****, and you'll pollute.
