First you'll need to find a shop willing to risk a $25,000 fine by removing the stock cats (which only rob 1-2 horsepower anyway)

I'm saying no shop in the US can legally remove working catalytic converters.

That doesn't mean you won't find someone to do it, you can always find people willing to do illegal things for money.

But it does make it a bit tougher to quote a standard price.

you just need to know the owner.. and ask them to remove some "resonators"
