Default Anyone Run No Cat?

In my great state of Arizona i gutted the cat (straight pipe). I was wondering if anyone here runs a straight pipe? If so, how much Hp does it add on the C5 and does it make the sound better?

On my camaro it added about 7 - 10HP

IM A FUTURE CORVETTE OWNER!!!

No cats, but did it as a package so can't say what just cats do. Very happy with them gone.

Just went with LG headers and off road x-pipe. YES it does have alot of gas smell. I don't know if it is more noticeable with my convertible but there is alot of odor. I still like it better than going with the cats. The smell just reminds me of the 500 hp beast I have at my finger tips!
