do you think if i just cut the back cats off it would sound similar?
Thanks man, and It depends on the setup you have right now, if you have a sido with a muffler it probably won't be as loud because I am running true duals with an x pipe and no mufflers with those high glow cats,, but yes cutting the cats out of yours will defiantly give it a louder sound. But if you cut the cats the CEL might come on. That's why I replaced them with the high flow cats. Same sound, no problems

Bad news on the SAS, my neighborhood complained on my parts truck being in my driveway. So it was either keep it and get fined a lot or get rid of it...... I don't understand why other people care about what's going on in my driveway, I hate my nosey a#$ neighbors!!

Lol, that would be cool, but I think I might be done modding this truck. I might do a few small ones here and there but my main goal is saving up for a 6.4!!! Been wanting one for awhile just need to find a cheap enough one(almost impossible lol)

I used a heat gun, some fishing wire, and lots of patience lol. Best time to do it is when it's warm outside. I took mine off in December, but then again I live in California and it was like 70 degrees that day lol. Start by heating up the trim on one side, then use fishing wire to help separate the trim from the body. Take ur time doing it. After I took it all off, I cleaned up the 3M tape residue with some goo gone. I also used some wax and a buffer on it and it looked like the trim was never there. If you need anymore help, don't hesitate to ask or send me a PM. Hope this helps
