My car still rumbles the house in the morning with it removed, screen door rattles, pictures/dishes shake, etc. Theres still plenty of grunt on startup. I mainly did it to lower the amount of car alarms I set off.

I don't want to turn this into an exhaust thread, but this car reallly sounds better without cats. I have hfcs and straight pipes for my xpipe, there is so much more deep bass and volume without cats (paired with an agressive rear exhaust). It just doesn't sound loud, it sounds good. The sound is night and day imo. My hfcs have almost a tinny sound in comparison, especially on startup, and I loved that setup when it was on my car. Cold start for me makes the car feel more artifical than it needs to be and actually annoyed me.
