ok the gs-t exhaust is the cheepsst most effective way to upgrade exhaust.

but what about straight though piping all the way. a friend at advanced auto told me it gives a great sound and hp.

will it work?? there isn't an emmissions where i'm at... and i'll just hollow out the cat and bolt it over the pipe....

I don't know that it's worth it... for a Naturally Aspired engine you do need some backpressure for low end torque. Until you are pushing a lot more Hp, then the stock cat is fine. replacement with a high flow cat or straight pipe is toward the bottom of my mods list. A GS-T rear section exhaust, a good cold air intake and the AF/X undredrive pulley should be your first steps. The pulley will definately give you a noticeable difference.
