will it hurt my power any if I remove both cats on my truck? It already has the air pump removed. Also, it has a cat back flowmaster 3 in exhaust. Back cat was punched out and think the front cat is over due for removal/replacement.

1990 F-150 5.0 5spd 4X4 3.55 139,000 miles

Thanks
Ed

No, its not going to hurt your performance you should gain a little. One thing it will do is let you hear what that flowmaster really sounds like. If you don't have to worry about emissions get a set of headers for it while your at it.
