No Cats

I have a 01 screw w/5.4. If i cut all four cats, run duals w/ a h pipe, and mils on the rear O2's. I was wondering if i would have any problems with this set up. I plan on doing it this week just see what you guys thought.

x2. No cats sounds like s**t. Get hi-flow cats that volume it up to no cats sounds, but with a clear tone.

Correct, V8 without cats = aweful. V6 or 4 bangers naturally sound pretty decent, deep and rich like, but with cats and a straight through muffler it sounds awful like most V6s do. Hi-flow cats and a chambered muffler is a good V6 exhaust.

yea i had no cats, H pipe, and true duals and now that i look back, i dont know why i ever ran without any cats, definantly made the right choice by gettin magnaflow hi flow cats about the same loudness as the no cats set up but still legal, and sounds amazing
