If you remove the cat, the O2 sensor won't work properly. You could probably go straight pipe from there. But I can't tell you how much power you'd gain...probably not much, according to rumour.

Yeah,
Don't waste your time or money with the air box mod, it doesn't do hardly enough to deal with that terrible whinning sound that makes the car sound like some cheap whind up toy. I'm putting mine back to stock b/c I have had enough of it already. Anybody want it for 50$?
