Took me about 4 hours to do mine. There are 2 O2 sensors after the cats, one after each cat that is. If you can stand the whole lot of rasp that you will have with no cats. Your gains will be most felt if you have other intake and exhaust mods, such as an aftermarket exhaust. Try searching for more info, there was a fairly in depth set of threads not too long ago that I started (dont have time to search for you right now) but yeah, try searching for alot of info recently... -Nick

Not really, the reason that your rasp went away when it got up to temp is that the cats are burning the gas and not letting the exhaust bounce all over the place. To get rid of the rasp I am going to be looking into getting a high flow resonator... -Nick

Do yourself a favor and take out the O2 sensors when you do this and make sure you have the MIL eliminators too. I got them from Dallas Mustang and they cost $70.00 or you can take your chances and have someone make them for you, yeah that always works :rolleyes: Its well worth it, especially when doing the true duals because my car revs really fast now

The Dynomax 17230 Ultraflo resonator is sitting on the living room floor. After the mystery mod and ypipe it rasps, this will take care of it.
