A couple of guys have tried it here, it makes the truck louder. No real gain in power or mileage, unless the cat is old and clogged.

good to know but........
good to know , but does not that Cat reduce the crap these engines pump into the air we breath. I know Borla for one makes a cat back system that breaths freely and should produce the same M.P.G. increase you saw by removing the factory system. If you get smoggged they will check to see if you have cats present and could be fined for removing federally required equiptment.

ok most states do require a cat but the beauty of this setup is that you van reinstall the cat prior to emissions testing in about 10-15 mins and reremove it after. If they even check. You could even gut the kitty for appearences. Yes it traps some of the soot but heres the ?, if my truck gets less fuel mileage and I need to burn more diesel to work my truck am I saving me any $$$ or the world anything. catch 22. Besides the diesels today with the turbos are much cleaner than they ever were in the past .
