I believe Norcal should have his main cat delete out relatively soon, maybe another week or two. It was supposed to come out last week but running a little late.

Sorry to go off topic but I'm curious what benefits are realized removing the cats? They're straight, flow through cats so I don't believe there's a restriction issue which would result in a power loss?

Good point on the heat as it's huge as well as the added benefit of improved sound. Although I guess this is subjective.

How are you getting the same power increase as headers? The exhaust gas doesn't "know" the cats are there as they're straight flow through?
