No cats at all or just not high flow ones? If there's none you'd be up for a fine from 5-10k if caught...

You might be gaining power but you would most likely be losing down low torque, just get twin 200 cell cats they still flow nicely

An exhaust with no cats will usually cost you power in most cases, as the resulting temperature loss in the 02 sensor will lead to low MV and switching irregularity, genrally a rich condidtion.

There are tables in the software that can remedy this, however the fine for not having the cat in place may sway you towards an exhaust shop....

AND high flow cats are pretty cheap anyway, why risk it?
