ok. then i might just take mine out and cut them off and weld in some straight pipes if it's not too hard to get it unbolted from the manifold

while you are at it replace the fronts with hi flow cats, then sell your 4 cats to the scrap yard and you will probably make money on the whole deal, hi flows are about $60-70 depending on where you get them and which ones, then a scrap yard should give you about $50 per cat so spend $140 on cats and sell your stock ones for $200, make $60

Your plan is investing a lot of money for a slightly louder sound. Remove your OEM rear cats if anything. I did with my '04, which will not throw a code. Front cats & true dual Bullets blow away a Flowmaster also, just in case you want it a lot louder.
