From what i hear taking off the cats will give it more of a deep muscle sound (like a rumble) and make the car louder. Thats gonna be one of the things i do in the near future.

I had my aftermarket exhaust installed when i was living in VA. I now live in AL and they dont have emissions or inspection!!! Thats why i am wondering if i should spend the money to get them taken off. I was trying to find someone that kindof had a before and after.
