I'm not running cats. No smell here unless you are at idle and the wind is blowing the wrong direction with the windows rolled down. Solution: Roll up the windows.

I will have to go with Hicompression. I have the Kooks LT 1 7/8 (no cats) to stock piping with no mufflers. I will have to say its loud, but even people that do not like a loud exhaust gave it a thumbs up. The price was good for them as well. As for the gas smell, like Hicompression you really dont smell it or unless you are behind your car. Like wise for the wind to but rolling the windows up, smell be gone. Good luck on the choice you make you will not be disappointed either way you go. Put up a video when you get it. I will try and get you a video of mine. Just remember I have straight pipe mainly, still have the resonators.

Kidding. I have Kooks headers, no cats, cam and a Borla ATAK exhaust. It's definitely loud, but I really like it. I thought at first that it would drive me crazy, but it hasn't so far. Mine's also a daily driver.

I need to get a good video of the sound, but here's one when the cats were still on. It got a little louder without them, but this will give you an idea.

That is a beast of a car. Sounds good.

Awesome, thanks.

Please get cats, I think anyone that goes without is an a$$hole. Even if it doesn't stink in our car it stinks for everyone around your car and it's irresponsible. I'm far from a tree hugger but I'm scared to think what it would be like if everyone didn't have cats. Given the very slight performance gain you get without cats it's not worth it.

How much did a cat delete possibly give you? Cool set up but I doubt the cat delete contributed to it much at all.

I live in Cali. But I want high flow cats

Actually the heat will eat through the cats. We've seen cats come apart on the dyno and start flying out of the exhaust.

If a car is properly tuned it wont stink EVEN WITHOUT CATS it if stinks its running rich and needs to be worked on tune wise.
