I wouldn't recommend it.

Would throw a light for the rear o2 not reading within range probably

OK... I will give my OPINION and you (aSSian) can crap on it if you like...

I had the muffler delete for about a week. Sounds like ass. Its loud and sounds great at start up and idle. Other wise, its raspy and unrefined. It just doesnt sound as good as everyone raves about.

I also added an X pipe... didnt help.

I left the resonators in place as that would only worsen the problem.

Removing one cat is a terrible idea. It will make one side of the engine flow better than the other. My guess is the car will run like CRAP.


If I were you, I'd start with an axel back system and an X pipe or just go with a cat back. Leave the stock cats/manifolds until/if you do headers.

Jason I remember removing the mufflers on my car and starting it stock. Sounds like crap.

The rear cats can be removed but as I said before.. Light. So you could tune it out, but bye bye warranty.

Axle back is a good start or leave it until you do big work

I thought it sounded great when I did mine. Left the front cats on and cut everything else off
