I have a 99 Tour SE with the SVT Dual Exhaust system on it. I had the resonator removed and a straight pipe put in its place. I also gutted the main cat out. Now, will this straight pipe back to mufflers hurt my car in anyway? Will it give it performance or take some away? Any helpful input/suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

Gutting the main cat can drop power, but the straight pipe in place of resonator (if down well) is no problem...

No main cat and no resonator together = beaucoup RASP!!!! You need a resonator if you want to lose the cat. And it is best to mount the resonator right where the cat was if you go that route. The Edelbrock 5503 works nicely or a Magnaflow resontor will work just as well, and cost you less.
