Cats vs no cats?
So going to upgrade to kooks 1 7/8 long tubes and their x pipe. Also adding a&a blower planning on 550+ rwhp.
So what's advantages or disadvantages to going with or without cats?
Sorry meant for c6 tech

I have similar set-up with cats and there is no mistaking the fact that you have headers but without the incessant drone, even when cruising. There was a guy at the shop bringing his back in to add cats for the above stated reason and he complained of the strong smell of fuel from under the car.

you will have a fuel smell without them. Definitely worth it to have them.
