OBDI systems don't check for cats, therefore it won't throw a code.

I had a 93 Z with no cat and flowmaster muffler, it sounded great. Removing the cat will make it louder for sure.

Dont take out the cat... just replace it with a high flow. That way it will still sound good but you wont have to deal with the smell and possible legal implications. I really wish I had left my cats. :(

Take your y-pipe and cat off. Gut the cat with a pry bar or something and place it back on. Don't put any scratches or anything on the cat. I did mine that way and I love the sound. Also I don't sweet it when a cop gets behind me because looking up under my car everything looks stock and legal.

I just welded a cat casing on my 3" exhaust so it looks like it is there haha :) I love the sound without a cat! Mine is very loud also

I hollowed out my stock cat for a year, it was loud and raspy, sounded "tinny". I have AS&M headers and a Flowmaster cat back. I put on a high flow Random Tech cat and it sounds much better, a little mellower, but much deeper.

Yeah mine sounds raspy until the exhuast gets warm then it goes away mostly :)
