Well I choose the path of Green over Gutted Cats.. I plan to buy a 3'' cutout over gutting my cats and tossing in O2 sims. Besides being cheaper, I will avoid the smell and I will get the sound I want....

Plus it will save me the cost of a catback until I finish doing my suspension work.

Currently I have a BMR STB and I have on order BMR LCA's. Over the summer I plan a BMR Panhard and Sub Frames... I am forgoing drag action and looking towards doing some autocross for awhile so I can learn how to better hanlde what I have...

 

I think you will be really happy with all of the suspension upgrades , especially the sub frames (what a difference over stock !!) . I think adding the cut-out will make you happy..... but probibly only for awhile......

 

I really want to make the car handle... I will be needing tires soon.. Any recomendations for traction that will last 30-40K... At 100K I plan a 383 buildup.. My father is retiring soon so it will be a father/son type of project. He has always wanted to do one so why not.
