not sure what the point would be. You can delete cats or replace them with higher flowing cats i guess...but other than that, no real point in replacing the pipes up there.

any competent exhaust shop can bend pipes to replace the cats. for far less than what you'd be waiting for a company to do, mark the price up, and sell you the same thing. but removal would need decent tuning considering the 02 sensor is gonna read WAY off. and most cats these days actually help exhaust flow than hinder it. most who aren't running high levels of power, actually De-Engineer their car making it lose power.

To Cat or not to Cat
What ever you do, do not remove or gut out the catalytic converter on your street machine.* The monolithic, straight through design of modern 3-way catalytic converters is usually quite free flowing on most modern imports, producing at the most, only a pound or two of extra backpressure.* A gutted cat will actually hurt power as the empty box can cause flow stagnation, which effectively shortens the length of the moving gas column in the exhaust pipe.* The empty box can also reduce important flow velocity. This can be felt as a loss in bottom end power.


Magnaflow and Random Tech make large diameter high flow cats so there is no excuse for polluting anymore.
Because of these factors, some of the cars that*we have worked on over the years have actually gained power with the addition of a cat.* As the number of vehicles on our highways grows every year, we must all do our part to manage pollution.* If every last bit of power must be extracted as in real off-the-street sanctioned racing, then the cat can be removed and replaced with a length of pipe, the same diameter of the rest of the exhaust system, not simply gutted to a power robbing shell.* A full on, full race turbo, Naturally Aspirated or a huge Nitrous system can benefit from removing the cat when racing levels of boost or nitrous are being run.* Boost or Nitrous flow levels that you would typically run on the street on pump gas are not enough to warrant cat removal for performance gain.* In short the only time you should remove a cat is for off highway racing events.

If you must remove your cat at a race, replace it with a straight pipe of the same diameter as the rest of your system.* Don’t put a gutted cat in for the reason of screwing up exhaust gas velocity by creating a huge turbulence inducing dump chamber in the middle of your exhaust. If you need to change you factory cat for a larger high flowing one, Random Technology and Magnaflow makes replacement cats with 3-inch ore even larger inlets and outlets.
So in short remember, more flow=more go!*
