Just a little input from you guys is needed since no one goes to the exhaust section on the forum.

With a 1998 V6 would you go no cats and flows? Or to a muffler shop and go from cats on back? And also can you cut the last two cats off without needing MIL's? NO EMISSIONS IN STATESBORO GA!!!

I have a Force II catback as of now, want the H-pipe, what do u guys think?

none taken
but he's saying that it's louder without them
it will always be louder with just a straight pipe
something obstructive like a cat will deaden sound

I guess he read my question wrong, cause the way it was answered it made it sound the opposite.

get a different K member and put long tubes... i know people that have put them on the 98 with very little problems...

also Longtubes + no cats + flowmasters = yummy ...
