Does anyone know the actual impact/improvement on EGTs before/after removal? I reallize we all have what we feel are rational opinions but really looking for some actual experience input. I am being circumspect about removing mine ~ and feel the need for some real/tangible benefits in doing so other than its a reasonable idea. Anyone have any definitive input like before/after figures?

TIA

My 6.5 runs cooler and gained notisable bottom end torque, the turbo also spools up much quicker.
I left the shell of the cat in line, just nocked the guts out.

Faster spool up and 50-100 cooler EGTs. These are my REAL LIFE experiences as confirmed by not only removing the cat, but then re-installing it to tame my towing drone. I miss the noise and the ooomph of going catless.

150* drop with my '05...That was a before/after test at highway speeds (constant 70 MPH)...

I dont have gauges yet but i can tell you after going from a cat back to turbo back the turbo spooles up much quicker and it cleared up alot of my smoke.
