They sound wicked without cats, but then they stink up the whole area outside, and are ofcoarse an emissions fail.

NO SIR!
I love the sound of mine with no cats after I put in the Magnaflow X pipe! I do have stock 06 manifolds though. I couldn't imagine the sound with LTs.

That's a fact with the factory tune. If anyone thinks different, they need to repair that hole in their Marble bag.

Just curious, but does everyone fight with each other in the "Exhaust and Intake" forum.

I would recommend a set of hi-flows, just so you can stay legal. Last thing you want is a cop sitting behind you with a kean sense of smell.
