With those stock loggers on the exhaust ports I don't think you will gain enough to make it worth while.

What exhaust system is behind the stock manifolds?

BTW, what year IROC; I have an '86 as my DD.

With the cat gutted, the gains will be VERY minimal, if any. Friday is "Street Legal" night. You SHOULDN'T be able to pass tech with an open exhaust.

RACE ON!!!

Are you signed up for the Street Legal Series? Or will you be attending the Midnight Drags? Either way, let us know how you did.
