Default Straight Pipes?

I just purchased a 2011 1ss and I wanted to get it straight piped, but I was told it could not be done. Why?

It may be a problem on the 5th gens do to the ECU and O2 sensors. I could be wrong but i am betting if you remove your cats its going to cause your rear O2s off and probably make the car run pig rich. This could be fixed with a little tuning but then again i know very little about the 5th gen ECU so i might be wrong.

I would say a good dyno tune and HP tuners would be a good investment. After all its a 30K car why go cheap now.
