RE: Cutting off catalytic converter
I have true duels on mines. Don't do straight pipes with no mufflers it will sound real bad. Go with x-pipes and remove the cats and use flowmasters. Trust me from one who found out the hard way.

RE: Cutting off catalytic converter
i post the same question as verado...same deal...i got an 03 v6...i wanted to just do straight pipes from where i cut the cats off though. Do the flowmasters give a ricer sound? I just want it to be loud, kinda want a GT sound out of it cuz im thinkin im gonna mask it like a gt and get gt front and rear bumpers and emblems...soooo i want the deepest sound i can possibly get out of a 6cyl.

If I were you i'd go with the HIgh flow cats (if you can afford) and dumps right after the flowmasters at a 45 degree angle to the side!
I am personally gonna go with a (if i can afford the high flow cats) and doing true duel exhaust with flowmaster super 40s with dumps 45 degree to the side
gonna get it install this weekend on my V6er
