I say **** the cat. I took mine out to put an end to the worries I had about it clogging up the flow.
If you have to worry about emissions I guess you could put the thing back in when you have to test for them. I never do though (Thank ***!!)

I just had mine taken out last week. Got new headers and my buddy said it was almost clogged so he took it out. Thank *** Florida has no emissions. Next step to get new performance mufflers, car sounds like crap now w/out cat.
