x2. Run cats. Unless you are a racer bound by rules and need every last HP out of your car it makes no sense to delete them.

x3. There's no reason not to run cats. Hi-flow cats barely take away any HP, you won't be able to notice the difference.

Order carsound or pypes cats.

Carsound make magnaflows, and are significantly cheaper
