The exhaust will smell more, but you only smell it if
windows are down and wind is blowing wrong.

i didnt smell it until i didnt tighten the mid pipe up all the way and didnt smell it until u looked under the car, then my eyes watered lol

all i did was gut my cats out.

Has anybody tried a set of high flow cats from jegs or summit?? I was thinking about getting a set along with an X-pipe exhaust system.

Get a set of hi flow cats. I got a Magnaflow off Ebay for my beater...$55 shipped, IIRC. I have the Prochamber w/o cats on the stang and like the smell, but it's not that much different w/ the stock H on (1st set of cats gutted on the stocker).

I've been thinking about adding cats to the Prochamber just so I don't have to switch mid pipes for inspection. Also, hi flow cats don't hinder performance much at all....MAYBE 5 hp....

Yeah that's true, they did a test and high flow cats vs catless was almost identical.

I've wanted to add cats to my prochamber too, what I wanted to do was buy the arms with the cats built in so i could just bolt them in, they're hard to find for a reasonable price though.

I'm gonna blame it on an exaust leak too. my 93 is catless and my buddies 98 is catless and we don't have a smell, except with my top down at a red light I can smell it a bit. Of course if you have to live with yearly inspections, (we don't in good old SC) you might as well get high flow cats, I don't know much about them but if they are as good as gspfunk and OnyxCobra say then it's the easier choice.
