I haven't had cat's on my vette in 4/5 years. It is great and I think the consensus is generally about a 5hp gain over cats.
My car doesn't stink at all, but that is probably because I don't have a pig rich tune.
I love not having cats, and probably won't ever put them on. Haven't had a problem passing emissions in NY or TX.

My intentions were to take the hot air out of our friend "theusa". 
He needs to slow himself down, resist the urge to personally attack others, and possibly learn a little more about his proffession of choice and the impact his role has on the environment before he points fingers.

I gutted my cats about 6 years ago despite being talked out of it..Tree huggers came out in force. My car is not a daily driver so the tree hugger thing rubbed me the wrong way.. All I wanted to do it to make a throatier sound.. Well I fif it anyway and it sounded awesome...
BUT SMELLS LIKE SHEIT!
With my convertible in the summer, I cannot take a 10 mile trip without coming home smelling like I was sitting in front of the exhaust pipe.. 
I plan to put the Cats back very soon...Because of me.. not mother earth..
