Loud cars are bullshit, you can easily find something to put onto your car to make up for that 15 lost horsepower adding a cat. Not even just a cat though, put in a good resonator and you'll hear a BIG difference in the volume of the car.
Two pumps stock pumps doesn't hurt either, if you can do it, why not? It'll keep some of the load off just ONE pump.
ever taken an 8-hour road trip in a cat-less car with a single-shot exhaust? even one with a "silencer tip"?
yeah...not so great.
Sure have, I did it with my Talon when I thought it was cool to be loud... That was my turning point in my thought of awesomeness lol.
I wasn't just talking about cat-back. there is a reason why people recommend getting aftermarket downpipe before you turn up the boost.
