I've been doing some research on gutting the cat on the 5s. Seems as though it's a back and forth argument. I'm talking about the one on the exhaust manifold. I gutted mine today, but I decided to get a new gasket from between the manifold and cat (hopefully the dealer has it, because no were else does). Anyone who's wondering if it actually makes any gains or not, I'll be posting again tomorrow to tell you. I just did this out of curiosty and need to do something. I'm willing to lisson to any ideas anyone has that will be cheap and easy for a few hp, but I think I've propably heard all of them, and done all that weren't stupid.

Results are in. I have little or no gain in horse power. I might have actually gotten a loss in torque though. If there was a loss, then it was very minor. For those who care, I didn't notice the car sounding much louder either. It was a nice learning experiance, but I'm irritated that thats all it was. If I can get a header some time, I might be happy.
