Catless midpipe

right now the car is stock with a Cork Sport catback. What would this sound like with no cats? I dont want the retarded import sound. Does this get a loss for power or a gain? i know its usually only + or - 5 or so.
what kind to get? and will i be able to shoot fireballs now?

you can typically gain a few hp by freeing up the exhaust flow. Catless cars CAN be very loud (depending on exhaust) and will smell bad

Not sure which one you should get, and yes you might be able to see small flames from time to time

smell i could care less about. a have a 416 in a vette with a big cam and no cats and barely any mufflers. gas smell is delicious.

I just dont want that overbearing ricer noise

check out youtube, quite a few people here have uploaded videos.
I haven't heard the CorkSport exhaust in person so I don't know if you'll be approaching ricer territory.
