Thanks for your input. I'm more worried about warranty than anything else and the Doug Thorley's look pretty sweet. If I was to get that, then all I would need a is a good high flow cat replacement that is warranty legal as well.
Eh - I'm not sure I did. If anything, it droned a little more. Also, I put on a 2.5-inch Y-pipe at the same time. It felt okay, but that's the butt-o-meter; we all know how accurate that can be sometimes. Still - there's no comparison to LTs in any way, at all.

You know - I want to see if changing to high-flow cats' would help power much. I'm suprised to see GM use four cats'. I'd be interested in seeing what gains there are in going to a pair of cats' compared to the OEM four-cat' set-up.

There is no reason to run shortys outside of California.
Unless you get a tune, then I'm sure the powertrain warranty goes bye-bye. Some of our cars, though, are getting by quite well without a tune, so

And yes, on the California comment. You don't live here, so you don't suck at life, therefore, I say go with a cat'd LT system, lol. (FWIW - to anyone else in CA: no offense, lol. I think you get my drift )
