Default straight pipe question

When I had a C4 I had the mufflers and main cat. cut out of the system and the sound was awesome. I was wondering if I could do something similar with a C5 that I will be purchasing in a few days. My only concerns is that the C5 computer may act up if I do this. Has anyone done this successfully?

You can do it with no problem at all to the computer, as long as you get the simms so the computer thinks the cat is still there. Good luck.

You will be disappointed in the sound or least that was my finding. Hard to understand how no muffler car can still be quiet but it is. Get yourself a pair of resonating tips and put them on after you remove the mufflers and you will have some good sound for very little money.
