keep em in, take em out?

Removing the cats just lowers the pitch of the exhaust and makes it a fair bit louder @ WOT.
You CAN run cats w/spray and not get "clogged" up. I've done it for 8 years with various cars with no ill effects (unless your cat is broken internally).
High flow cats have such low backpressure that it makes nearly ZERO difference in power output.
Don't give the police an excuse to fine you. Save the environment. Ride a bike.
My '88 black hatch has punched cats and like I said - make ZERO difference in terms of power. You're only asking for trouble.
Good luck!

I have a sound clip of my car if you want to hear it with the upr x pipe
if your not worried about the cops and emissions then deffinetly take them off or better go with an aftermarket off road mid pipe. There dirt cheap. I paid for $250 plus tax for mine brand new. The expensive ones are the ones with the cats (cuz of the cats)
btw Mark its a Paxton Novi 2000, get it right
