    I don't have money for LT's I was gonna keep the stockers and remove the cats and put a Magnaflow in. Will there be any gains I've heard from locals it does but I figured I would ask people who know what there are talking about.

    +1 i did it and it sounds pretty damn good IMO.
    dont cut them off tho, slice them open and empty them out and weld'em back shut. i think you can get money from a scrapyard for the insides of a cat too.

    I got $20 a piece, I had two. Like said above, you won't notice a difference in performance but it will sound a lot meaner. I think you'll love it, I'm running an open e-cutout behind LT's and ORY and am pretty happy. Yes it's loud.

    06 4.8 You need to hear my setup in person you would love it. I have the 4.8 as well and in an 06. Im running No Cats, Stock Manifolds, a Super 40 Flowmaster dualed out, 212/228 cam, Sounds verrrry identical to an LS1. Id def. Recommend taking your cats off. I even noticed it to run and perform a lot better

    Ill see if I can get a sound Clip
