it would flow better without the cat and be louder, that flowmaster muffler is restricting your air flow as well, and without the cat, makes it sound too droney with flowmasters on the 3.8's, go with a straight through muffler such as magnaflow, they make those 6'ers sound pretty mean, and it actually adds performance, unlike flowmaster wich makes it sound louder, but may actually be more restrictive, because of all the chambers.

Status: offline well I don't personally know what it will sound like but i do know that if you take the cat off without putting on an O2 simulater on your going to have problems with the check engine light that could cause the car to bog down and give less performance. If you put the O2 simulater on your going to notice a good performace change.

It's a device that tricks the computer into thinking the cat is there and operating successfully, so when you pull your cats the computer doesn't start throwing error codes.

They usually don't work, and if they do not for long.
