Specifically, if we remove the mufflers and it still sounds reasonable, I think we can infer that the stock cats are really, really restrictive. I think we've all pretty much known that for a while anyway. But this just confirms our belief.
Stock exhaust has 2 cats, 2 diffusers and one muffler. I don't think it's neccesarily fair to say it's the cats cutting the noise. You've got me curious enough to unbolt the rear section of my stillen exhaust to see if it's the cats or the diffusers....
