Default Gain or No Gain....

So I have the Basani Extreme exhaust setup on the 02 Stang and just deleted the mufflers....according to my buddy with his fully built stang....he said, "[:@]BAD IDEA MAN!....OUT THE MUFFLERS BACK ON YOUR LOSIN HORSE POWER, YOU NEED RESTRICTION!" Then He told me to delete the cats instead to free up some flow but leave the mufflers on.....What do I do?........Any Ideas....and will my car gain anything by this?

with stock setup cars, backpressure is vital for scavenging the exhaust gasses. Put em back on

no catts = better sound and about 2-3 more hp
catts = emissions legal

either way put the mufflers back on!
