modifying my exhaust
I was wondering instead of buying a mid pip or getting like the agency exhaust shouldnt i get the same h.p. gains for the most part if i just take my cat off and gut it then put an exhaust setup on it. instead of buyin a mid pipe or hiflow cat?

Since we are really only talking about a 7 hp gain or so with a straight pipe, a hollowed out cat might in fact get you 5 or 6. Either way you shouldn't feel a difference but it will technically work. The factory cat is pretty damn expensive so remember that if you ever need to pass an emissions test. It may just be cheaper to buy a midpipe.

i live in iowa no emissions. i was just wondering for the money part it would be best just to gut my cat then? with only a couple horses difference your not gonna really be faster having the midpipe against gutting your cat. but be getting more performance then just an exhaust and not gutting your cat or getting a midpipe correct?
