No cats

But you'll have to turn off the rear o2 sensors because the SES light will come on if you don't turn the o2 sensors off

I vote for cats. I ran no cats for almost 2 years. After just having high-flows put back on last Thursday I must say it is a much more enjoyable truck now. -Mat-

I've got "no cats" on my 02. It's L-O-U-D when you get into the throttle.

I would'nt recommend it on a street driven truck.

Cats. I have ran both. No cats will rattle your teeth out.

My truck has no cats and its pretty loud. I probably should've went with Hi-flows, because I hear with no cats you loose some torque.... Its your decision

I have run both, the truck is much louder (higher pitch, raspier) without the cats. It sounds much better IMO with the cats on, gives a deeper tone and not nearly as loud, but still loud enough.

no cats. i had cats sounded fine but after a year or so they break up and rattle. gut them you get used to the raspyness. a friend of mine has my exhaust on his truck now minus the long tubes. he does not want to gine it back for some reason.

I vote for the high-flows and LT headers to complete the package. Nice deep tone.
