Exhaust

You lose low end power and torque. The only motors that run better without cats or mufflers are turbos.

On my '04 I thought a full 3" exhaust with no cats would be perfect...my 0-60 was up to almost 10 seconds...I thought the motor was trashed. Added a hi-flow cat and all was well and went back to normal. Your truck needs back pressure to properly produce power unless you are running some crazy 500hp motor.

I guess I could've have explained this better, but I'm glad everyone else was able to convince you not to do this.
Actually I did explain it...elsewhere. Happy reading.
