Hey i was just wondering if i were to remove the catalytic converter if it would add any horse power? or what about getting a "Y" pipe before the cat. so i can still have the cat. but have it go straight out when i want to race?

The direct fit ones are identical to the original in sizing and flanges etc... but you pay for it too. I know MagnaFlow offers some, then I want to say Bosal and Walker might as well.
