Default Cat no Cat ? ?

ok so what kind of sound am i going to get out of the slammed C3 if i pull the cat off the car.. but leave the same system thats on the car ? ? just trying to come up with ideas.. this is turning into the hardest part of this mod thing... I do have to smog still but im trying to come up with alternatives i have a friend thats going to let me use his address in a non smog city. but just not sure if thats the route.. If I go with the non smog city then i would rather go headers and straight pipes ? ? What does you think people.. headbang thumbsup

I had a mid 80s trans-am once that I built the motor and put headers and duals on. It wouldn't smog so I put a pair of thrush free flow converters on. Didn't seem to hurt performance but allowed me to pass smog.Free flow converters available thru Jegs, Summit etc.
