I see you have Kinetix test pipes . Why gut the cats ? I used a long rod and a long drill bit . Drill it and then pound the rod thru , keep doing it till it all fallls out.....Bill

I have test pipes too, but I got a set of cats from ebay and I plan to gut them. I can't take the rattle and rasp!

You may have had rasp when gutting your RT cats, but I don't have any rasp with my OEM cats gutted. It was nothing short of a pain in the butt to get them completely gutted, but I have found it to be a noteworthy gain in power. I gained 13 HP from the gutted cats and retuning. The before and after pulls were only two weeks apart. It is my belief that gutting the cats allowed maximun gains from my Injen exhaust.

If you have headers , you will get rasp with gutted cats . You have to have some kind of restriction in the exhaust on this motor or you will get the rasp .I put in the crawford cats and have no rasp now
