Thumbs up

I would think you would at least let the air flow through the cats so the car has 'some' back pressure. So just installe a single cutout on the I pipe somewhere under the rear passanger seat....

I put mine back as the pipe enters the muffler it just dumps right there, it makes the same power, but is not as loud on the street, I run mine open all the time.

do you all really think it sounds good? i just got mine right under the passenger seat and i think it is way too loud, i tried putting a plate with holes on it today and it sounds a lot better but it seems that the engine takes a really long time to return to idle, if you take it to 3500 it seems like it takes 2.5 sec to return to idle. and all the noise creates the illusion that the car is slower. does anyone have any suggestions for me?
