Cat Delete vs. Gutting them

what's better to do? and cheaper?

I have the high flow cats that came with the BBK LTs if that matters.

Doing either is equally illegal.

Hallowed them?


hal·low
ˈhalō/
verb
past tense: hallowed; past participle: hallowed
1.
honor as holy.

holy, sacred, consecrated, sanctified, blessed; More

I think you meant hollowed.

You might one day. I love how if there is a law someone does not agree with, it's okay to break it. Hey, but who am I to judge, my Camaro doesn't have cats, at all.

Not much more, It will be just a little louder and raspier. Only reason I gutted them was for (the addition of) the supercharger to breathe better.

Yeah your right about that. Was paying attention to the game while I was responding to the post.
