Default STRAIGHT PIPE.

DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT. BUT A FRIEND WHOS FAMILY OWN A SHOP, IS OFFERING TO PUT IT ON MY CAR FOR $40. I ALREADY HAVE CATS. DOES IT AFFECT PERFORMANCE? AND CAN SOMEONE SCHOOL ME ON STRAIGHT PIPES THEMSELVES. PRO'S? CON'S? ANYTHING HELPS.

you will most likely throw a SES light by removing the cat and replacing it with a straight pipe

sound will be raspier, performance will increase ever so slightly

Cats are just good for clogging.

from what i know, straight pipes are illegal. because you can't pass emission test. So be wise in what you do

a straight pipe will sound good on a v6 but only if you leave the cat.
