You aren't going to to go any faster with the removal of the cats but you will definately enjoy the sound of the magnapaks more with an off road x pipe. As for Mr. Long Tubes comment about not running shorties, that really depends on what modifications you have done, In most street car applications there isnt too much benefit other than the sound

With my shortys and X pipe i did not feel anything hp wise. Went with LT and h-pipe and felt that torque and the sound is sick with borla xr1's
