Default muffler restrictions???

This summer i took out my cats and straight piped the whole system...as you can imagine, It was loud as HELL. I know that the main restriction in all exhausts is in the cats but im thinking of welding my mufflers back on, does anyone know if that'll will resctrict any horses?

I put two dynomax walker bullets in the same place as the cats, and added and X-pipe. I shed 33 pounds in weight. The sound is awesome. the price can't be beat, $366.00 and no drone.
Take a look at the video



Good luck

The stock exhaust is really pretty free flowing. I really don't think that you will be losing much by putting them back on.
