How much noise do cats take away from exhaust? I have a 5.0

Leave your cat on your degenerate.

>>17850823
but moar loud

You must be poor to want to sound loud while driving only 20 feets distance at 35mph

>>17850823
no reason to have a cat unless your state mandates it
>muh emissions

>>17850850
NY requires it but tune to get rid of o2 engine light and a nice shop

>>17850818
if u get rid of them just make sure yo get a tune to get rid of the CEL and get whatever gains you can. Newer cats are efficient so you wont pick up too much hp, but older cats are restrictive as fuck

>Muh emissions
>Muh smell
>Muh correctly running vehicle
>Muh responsible motoring
>Muh reasonably quiet car

Cats have no measurable impact on performance in any car made after the early 80's.
Decatting is literally being retarded. That's like putting a CAI witha metal pipe on your car because you think your stock airbox is restrictive.

Just get a ghost cam tune if you want an impressive idle tone.
