Default X Pipe Cat Removal

Since Borla has stopped making the catless x pipe and Corsa is extremely expensive, is there any other option out there"

You could always start with gutting the stock Xpipe as it’s a free mod. The cat materials break up pretty easy with a chisel and hammer.

To pass visual inspection, I'd just knock out the stock secondary cats. FYI, I bought an X pipe and really didn't notice much sound difference over stock.

I've got an AWE on my car. It's louder, especially with the roof out. But it's not drastic or obnoxious. That's exactly what I was going for.
