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.

I remember reading that the gas expands then has to force back into the funnel.
How did you gut it - cut it and reweld it, or punch it out? -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
