If I've got the boost turned up, the bov is louder than the exhaust. That's how it should be. Show me dyno sheets that show those mufflers make a big enough difference over my Hooker street muffler. I actually gain 8 ft lbs and 14 hp by having a complete 2.5" system made, with a quiet muffler. And my car has all the emissions equipment required for 1984. I've seen lots of performance cats out there, so there is no point in removing it, or punching it out. Leave your emissions stuff there, don't rice your car, and get a quiet muffler and you won't get pulled over and ticketed.
