no not really. high flow cats are a gimmick. Just cut out the Y and run a pipe off each cat to the back and that's as loud as you'll get. without cats you'll have to run some faux O2 sensors, and it still sounds like crap.

and I have a right to it. Although just about everyone I've been around says the same. A close friend of mine has a '02 Expy and he cut the cats out of it and just ran tru dual pipes and he tells me everytime he's around me and my truck that he wishes he would have left the cats on them. If you want to sound like a 30yr old truck with a straight 6 that's fine, but the cats add a lot of muffling and they deepen the tone.

some people like their truck to be loud, i know i do, i dont care call me immature stupid whatever you want you aint gunna hurt my feelings, i like to know that i can shut that little ricer up who parks next to me in the school parkin lot with his big fart can muffler just by starting up my truck, yes i am still in highschool you may say thats why i like my truck loud cause im young blah blah but it doesnt matter i like it loud and think it sounds good, everyone has his own opinion, and btw highflow cats are not just a gimmick, they flow better than stock cats, dont dappen the sound level as much and still keep people's vehicles legal
