Replacing the cat with a straight pipe
Will it actually help me out? I put it on yesterday which only took 10 mins to do. There is no difference in sound. I thought there would be a little difference in sound but I guessed wrong. My only performance mod is a CAI. So can someone just help me out with this question. Thanks

Well you definetely not passing any type of emmisions with a Straight Pipe.
It will not make it smell bad, I have done some heavy runs with my setup and never had a bad smell experience yet.

But they had a TSB regarding P4020 error code for Cali emission guys, how does that work? Since there is no o2 sensor behind the Cat????
Anyone?
