ok to cut out cats?

I have ben trying to get a exhaust for my 96 mustang for a while now, the only problem is shipping. Just to ship an x-pipe cost 130.00 or more. Is there any gains to be had by cutting out my cats and welding in straight pipes, or is this just a waste of time?

If there are no emission laws....Do it. I had the cats cut out and pipes welded in. No real power increase but, sounded better and I know it flows better. Felt very little seat of the pants difference but, I got the cats cut for $75.00....worth it to me.

from what ive heard about cutting the cats out, you only get a lot of gain if you are supercharged or turbocharged.

Really, just leave the cats alone. I rode my scoot' to Soldotna and back last summer. It was incredible! I know AK only has like 250,000 folks up there, and the snow machines/four wheelers probably pollute something awful, but you really should do the right thing.

AK is beautiful. I sure would appreciate it if you would try to keep it clean while I'm gone.

Alaska is too cold. It may be a beautiful place, but who wants to live in a place where there are not any women around. I love women. Alaska only has a large male population. There is like 1 woman for every 8 men. It would be great to live there if you were gay or from San Fransisco.

Ron,
Now I know you are full of hsit. One of the best lovers I ever had lived in Fairbanks AK.
I spent 5 years there in the 80's it was great.
