Kitty removal

Hey Guys, I need some knowledge from the Master Minds of Experience.
I'm considering removing the kitty and would like a basket of information regarding all the pros and cons of mounting the kitty on my garage wall.
Thanks in advance for your wisdom and experience!

Oops. forgot to id the cat house:
2004 F350 6.0 (late build) ext cab drw 4x4 4.10 gears 5R110 trans 155K mi.
Ed's FICM w/atlas 40 tune (runs great - a 1 ton rocket)
Originally owned by the Feds Fish & Wildlife division. Oasis showed r&r Ford reman heads, HPOP, oil cooler and applicable parts (their list, not mine???) in 2005. Feds sold the truck through surplus auction in 2013 w/120k, I bought from auction buyer.

Pros, it sounds better and some claim a drop in egt but you really won't gain anything but more sound. Imo, do a 4 inch turbo back and be done with it.

Is your truck substantially louder with the 4" turbo-back & no muffler? Would you recommend the IPR Gen2 egr delete? Had any leaking issues like in Anthony's recent posts about having to fix em? Thanks

Mine doesn't leak, but I do recall that thread Anthony mentioned the leaks. Mine is a blem so you can see imperfections in the exterior but the interior is good and it doesn't leak. I got the kit with the replacement up pipe with no scoop too.

Thanks Chris, I'll do the delete and the 4" turbo back at the same time.

Did the test pipe route very cost effective kitty sleeps under the tool bench incase.....With the muff gone it will bark as CMK says & I don't have any drone in the cab.
