lol yes. I live just outside the emissions requirement zone in GA, so I deleted my rear cats. But now, my fronts have developed a squeak/vibration for about 10-20 seconds or so on cold starts.

Inspect the shields. A clamp may have loosened.

Removing the rears helps with minor performance, and loudening it up. X pipe is for true duals to cross flow to create the perfect scavenging.
