It's simple physics. You can't trick your way around it.

Everytime you remove/change the exhaust, you lower backpressure. So you lose low-end and gain low-end. Any mod to the exhaust takes away from low-end power.

Removing either cat might lead to a CEL. Pulling out the first cat is pretty safe (it's like a cheap header). Removing the 2nd definitely leads to CEL (100%) and won't do as much.

I think he means lose low-end and gain high-end.

Try disconnecting your battery again. If you installed it properly then your CEL shouldn't come on.

The CEL is from the test pipe and won't go away. (Obviously, check to make sure - auto parts stores will scan you for free nowadays) The RRM CEL fix isn't perfect. It didn't work on my car.

You can look into something more complicated but much more effective --> http://www.mileliminators.com/

Fixed my typo. Sorry.

Lose low-end, gain top-end.
