The Nitto midpipes that I sold and Garm now does, has no cats, just resonators for a nice sound. There was definitely an increase in power when I installed mine, but then I never dyno'ed it so I cannot tell you how much.
Only problem you might have is with the oxygen sensor, it might throw a malfunction light if it detects there is no catalyser action going on. This can be mostly solved using a spacer like a spark plug anti-fouler for the rear O2 sensor.

I have 2.25" header back exhaust. No cats and a 18" resonator. I am also boosted. I am going to be putting on a hi flow cat tomorrow. At first I was running a magnaflow muffler and it was LOUD, but now I switched mufflers and it's as loud as an axleback (even with no cats). I'm still going to put on the hi flow muffler just to quiet it down a little more and get rid of that smell. I can feel a sense of free flowing and non restrictiveness now. However, like I said earlier, I am boosted.
Oh yah, and to your question, no great throttle response (atleast in lower RPMs). I lost some torque by going with this exhaust setup. However, my supercharger picks up the slack. edit: I also used the o2 anti fouler for the secondary sensor. I have no CEL because of it. However, once I put my high flow cat on, I'm going to take it off. Last edited by PETERPOOP; 04-01-2009 at 01:18 PM. |

thats good news ! so all that the origional sensor does is regulate emmsions , the one after the cat i mean ,it cant effect richness or being lean etc ?

ok cool , shot for the info buddy. the smell you getting is because the cat is gone ? i dont mind to much if its a little louder , so long as the car runs better with the cat gone , my little 1300cc can do with every little bit of power , no matter how small , LOL |

This is the anti-fouler they are talking about:
The second O2 sensor (you have two sensors on the exhaust side, one on the manifold and one on the midpipe) looks for cat failure. The anti-fouler moves the sensor away from the exhaust stream, fooling it into thinking the cats are on the car.

nah the air/fuel ratio is determined by the front sensor, as mentioned by Garm, the rear one is just t check that the cat is functioning (basically checking if the gases coming our of the cat is cleaner than the gases going in), so if you don't have a cat, the spacer will shield the sensor a little bit, so it will seem to have a cleaner airflow.
