most people will tell you that the new cats are high flow and they don't restrict the exhuast. but whose gonna suggest taking it off when it's illegal? i did a test a while ago for a school research paper with my 01 v10 excursion with 3.73s. i got a 10000lb trailer pulled over on a slight grade on the highway, mashed the throttle and timed it from 0-60 mph. if i remeber corectly it took 34 seconds with the cat and 27 with out. i also have a 40 series on it so its loud as hell but like a musle car not all fuzzy like with the cat. oh and when i hit about 55 with out the cat i blew the tail pipe off, admittedly it was poorly attached but it was when i tested with the cat too. quite i difference, try it if you don't mind the noise i bet you'll feel the power in the top end. if not or if you need to pass emmisions $10 at autozone on adapters and you can put it back on!
