Maybe the guy just wants something with a bit more power, and wants to put it in and leave it, uh hum, yanking it out for inspection be darned.

I never said that catted DP do not offer more power than the stock one, please read carefully all my replies.
Catted DO offer more power than stock, that being said Catless will offer noticeable power over catted.

Holy hell 5hrs?! do you have an XI? when i installed mine it was my first time and it took me a little less than 2hrs and i was taking my time to make sure everything was perfect. i am pretty sure i could do it in less than an hour now. This was on ramps also, if i had a lift this would be a breeze.
