I Say save up for whole new exhaust, yes the cat delete will help, but you will eventually end up buying the whole exhaust, thus having wasted the money on the cat delete pipe, just jump to the end and buy the whole deal. Been there, did that! Are the egt's going over 1300?

I'm under the impression that the cat doesn't restrict much at all. What tuner and tune did you get?

Edge evolution with canned tunes for 2006 6.0 .economy, towing,and extreme extreme is 100 horse. If I play on extreme egts get too high .was trying not to get whole new exhaust for now.

Might want to stay on economy till you get that new exhaust.

Ya I only tried it twice for short ride I figured by the time I do a cat delete and muffler delete might as well go for larger exhaust kit .
