So my cats were disemboweled and the beast feels MUCH quicker! It's definitely much peppier and it has nothing to do with the sound making it seem quicker because it didn't get much louder.
For those interested in the sound level increase, It sounds just a tad bit louder than before but still nothing much. It's still quieter than my 03 GT was when it had just a Borla catback. My setup now is gutted cats, magnaflow dual in dual out X muffler in place of 3rd cat, and magnaflow dual exhaust. Although I wish it to be just a little bit louder, there comes a point where you just be happy with what you have and call it a day.
I did throw three CEL's but am having them fixed via my SCT handheld tuner. I'll update this thread if a tune completely eliminates the CEL's or not.
I just figured since I didn't see many posts in my search about this I would post my experience for future users.
