if you get rid of your cats, it will definetly be a lot louder, i wouldnt count on any horsepower gains, are engines run better with some back pressure, and if you take off your cats you wont have enough, i took of my cats, sounds way louder, definetly worth it. Good luck finding a shop to take your cats off. took me 3 days, instilation was 100

The only real difference between good high-flow cats and catless is sound/legality.
