It's not that difficult to make power AND have a clean engine (with cats). Removing them to make power is what people who can't tune an engine do.

Most shops in Japan now only tune cars with a full street legal cat, and they still make tons of power.

Magnaflow Hi-flow cat + flanges. Go to an exhaust shop to get it welded. Done deal.
Costs the same as a test pipe. There's maybe a $50 difference.

Or:

Which runs about $800 for a Miata.

Or $100 for a Magnaflow. Comes in every shape and size for universal or OEM.

Now there's the epitome of the self-centred ricer mentality. Fuck the environment and people around you who have to put up with the eye-watering crap spewing from your tailpipe - as long as you sound "cool" it's OK.
