That's because of the resonator. But a gutted cat will work .

Unless your boosted don't wate your $ on it. There are a lot better mods to waste it on.

I believe it's also illegal as hell..i mean, alot of things are illegal. At least it is in Illinois its illegal to bypass the cat ($10000 fine or some other high number), so taht makes me pretty sure that it's even worse to just rid of the cat...so, not worth the chance for a horse or two.
