I actually felt a gain after I removed the cats.... seriously thinking about going to a aerochamber, somebody needs to post up a sound clip of a catless exhaust with an aerochamber...

why would you lose down low? correctly tuned, you shouldn't lose anything. you wont gain much either

I'll try and make a sound clip up tomorrow or perhaps a video, either way i'd do some idle & driving clips.

I took my cats off, I think it lost power down low,not much but some, but it made up for it up top. also I am only running the hpp3 tune so a custom tune could probably take care of the loss down low.

I felt a nice gain up top too. My tune was also tweaked to gain more power on the low and mid range and better throttle response... hence I didn't feel a loss of power an the low end.
