Wont run much different. It'll probably run a little rich, which isn't exactly bad. But you will have a check engine light on until you get the rear o2s turned off in the tune.
our cats act like mufflers, so would be a lot louder
It's a little bit louder and raspier, and if you have any drone before doing it, plan on the drone being accentuated a bit. The CEL comes on after a short while and requires tuning to shut it off, unless you can rig some spark plug defoulers (spacers) to trick your two rear O2 sensors. As stated, it runs a bit rich when it's throwing the rear O2 code.
should run a little better w/o the cats of course less restriction.and yes it will be louder.get a tuner to delete them o2's
You know what they say, when she's runnin' rich DRY SHOT!
