Default What to do with cats?

Saturday my headers, x-pipe, and Corsa Pace Daytonas get installed.

Sounds like I have a decision to make re if I keep my cats or not? PUP cats?

Can anyone advise what I need to consider, and what choices you recommend? Oh, and what the impact is on my odds of passing Calif emissions if I remove cats.....

Thanks

I'm getting my cats removed and installing straight pipes. This will give you between 10-15hp at the wheels! This WILL NOT pass emissions in CA but all you have to do is put flanges on it so when it's time to smog it you can easily put back the cats to pass emissions. This will change the tone of your exhaust a bit too....
