Default I don't have emissions either, and I tried that...

I ran a straight pipe exhaust for a while:
didn't notice that much of a difference in power.
the advantage: as far as turbo noise goes, your car sounds like a ups truck.
disadvantage:
1) It's loud as ****, you can't make your car quiet no matter how much you lug it.
2) I don't know this for sure but I suspect it decreases the life of your turbos if you have k03's because I noticed it boosted faster and higher. With no cats, DPs and a 3'' exhaust I was hitting 20 lbs

Default One word....

Loud.

I have a custom Borla with the rear muffler delete, Piggies and stock cats and I set off alarms at full chat.

Default I wouldn't bet on that

There are plenty of cops in Bend/Redmond that love to go after loud cars. Trucks on the other hand get different treatment as that is what the cops drive when off duty. You are in the minority there so easy to pick on. I have lived there most my life and have seen how it works.

Being a Imola you already stand out why push it with a really loud car as well?

I'm for sure going Piggies and Borla dual. Anyway Should I do the whole system at the same time. Or should i do one or the other first?

All at once if you can. I am sure you will like the end result.
