Im not looking for performance gains or anything. I seen a video on youtube of a guy on another forum and his is a 04 with the rear two cats deleted and it sounds nice. There are alot of trucks around me that are louder. My buddy just put stacks on his diesel truck and it has no muffler and he said that thing is ungodly loud. Went past 3 cops and they didnt bother him.
I know its illegal thats why this is up in the air. But I dont think its going to be ungodly loud. I think its going to be just right. I dont see it being a problem since there are kids around town that drive with just straight pipes and no cats. Shouldnt be a problem. My buddy had an old dakota with cherry bombs on it and that thing was loud. Never had a problem and he took it down to the city alot.

I have tossed this idea around as my 06 CAME with 4-cats... Some say theres only have 2.. Well i must have been a lucky one to have 4.... Yea me.... I do think i am leaning toward this. If i do i will not make it public but i will pm a few to tell them.

Your not going to get pulled over and fined or impounded or anything! Your vehicle will run fine and not throw any codes because like you said it's behind the O2 sensor. You might even save a few bucks in gas via it being a tad bit freer flowing but I doubt you will notice. If a cop really wanted to hammer you with an extra fine because you wher doing something really stupid maybe he could. But deff not in ur case because your taking out the internals and leaving the shell. I'm doing it to my truck tomorrow morning. But I'm deleting the back 2 completely

That's always a great reason to thread mine and bring one back to the top. 
I didn't read your post that way, that's why I was ribbing you a little bit with the eek smilie!
so thanks for clarifying.

Ok, do any of you guys have certain knowledge of vehicles being taken off the road by any half-*** law enforcement personel or are you just making your point by throwing out hypotheticals? There are many things that could happen but never do. It is not like he will have black smoke emmiting out the back.
