Probly because ya dont have cats.

instead of getting true duals (I don't know what kind of exhaust you got), but you should consider getting a cat-back system. Then, you can change the cats once a yr. Have 2 sets. 1 pair as your stock ones, and 1 pair that you got in junk yard, and knocked out ALL the insides. This way, you only have to change your cats once a year, and have "true duals" for the rest of the year.
