With an N/A, I wouldnt, the car runs alot smoother with it on and it smells better.
One more thing to keep in mind, the oxygen sensor on this car is not heated, I have been to told by mechanics that beack pressure created by the cat helps to heat up the oxygen sensor, and that little guy controls up to about 8% of your fuel economy...

F' it all.. I'm either hollowing the cat or doing the test pipe.. Anyone know what kind of noise a hollow cat will make? something nasty added to my 3'' system? or will it not sound bad?
