May fix it, may return it, don't know yet.

Mine is out of warranty but that was basically my thought too. If I ever get rid of it or Kentucky starts inspecting emissions, I have a stock one that I can bolt on in very little time.
I had also thought about having a cut-out installed in it. I like the sound of my cat back for everyday street driving but it was bent by a shop that did a less than perfect job of bending it. With a cut out, that wouldn't matter. I would have a reasonably quiet exhaust, unless I was at a racetrack (or a show, and just wanted to make noise) .
Is there any chance of needing more back pressure at a drag strip? I understand that it will hurt bottom end torque but I have a TB converter on it's way to me, so it's not like it's going to have to leave at 1600rpm. Any opinions on this?
