Without catalysts right up top, I'm sure the under-hood temperatures are a good deal lower, as those cats really bottle-neck exhaust flow and trap heat right near the turbos!

Yeah! That's what i think of gettin' em removed. That heat is not going to be trapped near the turbos and the duct has lower temperatures, but.........how did u manage to keep the factory shields without cutting and adjusting them??? My mechanic told me it was impossible to fit after decatting......................
