It will sound much better. The same that it does now, just louder/volumed up and a tad deeper tone. $70 per cat on ebay, $80 installed w/ tax sounds average.

I'm in California, probably as strict as anywhere else, maybe more strict.

I passed the sniffer with Magnaflow high flows & gutted pre-cats. I also had a blower, complete fuel system upgrade and custom tune. I was somewhat close to the limit for NOX but everything else was well below the limit.

IMHO if your truck has cats and a good tune, you'll be fine.

If you gut the pre-cats I recommend making sure the cats stay nice and hot before going to the sniffer. Don't let things sit and cool or the cats *may* not be hot enough.
