Well one thing is that sound gets pretty bad without cats. But to some, it's heaven sent. I personally don't like the loud raspy tone.

Another bad thing is that your polluting the environment! Okay thats not really an argument just wanted to say

Not really a good idea to just gut the cats. Alot of turbulence is created in the body of that cat that can be detremantal to scavenging and performance. Its best to take the cats completely off and install some sleeves in their place.

Thats an interesting point. Have you heard or seen any proof? It sounds about right.
