Well, I decided to get rid of my cats (98, so it only has one pair). Best money I ever spent! It's actually not much louder, if not quieter at idle. Mine were really old, plugged up and rattling.
Rather than go with the Fabspeed pipes, I had an exhaust shop custom bend and weld some they custom made. They even welded O2 sensor bungs on them for me so I don't have to eliminate the 2 rear sensors. So far no CEL.
As for power and torque, there's not a whole lot of difference, but it's definitely smoother and the throttle is more responsive. When driving, it's not too loud at all, screams a little at RPM's above 4500. Inside the cabin, it's still very peaceful.
It cost me $240 for the mod and took 2 hours. The hardest part was finding a shop that would do this for me. I cohersed them by saying I'd pay cash and not ask for a receipt so that liability is off of them.
