Default 98 C5 Exhaust Mod

Has anyone on here moddified their exhaust and done away with the silencers just leaving the CAT in?
What does it sound like, any performance gain?

Yes many people have gutted their cats. Most elect to add long tube headers with after market catbacks. If you do this your car will stink like unburnt gas. If thing this is what you are referring to.

I am thinking about doing this, just have to look at it closer to see exactly what I am going to do in the spring. Car is put away for winter in a Car Capsule. Thinking about taking off the black boxes and putting on some high flow cats. Trying to decide if the high flow cats are a waste of money, I think they might be.

I think he means Muffler eliminaters, Eliminating the Mufflers all together and just run straight pipe from the cats.

I noticed when I did this to my C4, the exhaust note scavenged, kinda like a missing noise, but didnt have any problems, and it did sound much better then the Factory Garbage cans hanging out back.

I got that now, I want to take off my pre-cats and run pipes or maybe some small tube type mufflers back after the H-pipe.
