Default Question about piggies with no cats...

Just wondering, how many here have run piggies with no main cats either? I already have piggies, and I am considering cutting out the cats and just running straight pipes. I have an exhaust dump located where the resonator used to be, so I am wondering what kind of gains can be seen from running an open exhaust like that with no cats? Thanks!

Default I'd say the only real difference is... my car would constantly shoot out flames on decelerations and

hard shifts at WOT.

Oh and it is a lot louder.

Default Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm just gonna skip it for now and just stay with cats since

I have an electric cutout now anyways. I'll just put that money towards the W/I kit I was going to get too instead.
