Default Taking out the Catylic Converter

I saw this on ebay right now. The seller says you gain 7 hp to the wheels. For $200 doesn't seem to be bad. if it's true?

Has anyone done this?

Lots of things are illegal.

If it makes my car faster (so I can go further over the speedlimit quicker) I wouldn't care.

You can buy test pipes for less than that from more reputable sellers. Do a search for "test pipes" on here. And yes they do work.

I saw this ebay add awhile back...I doubt the claimed 7 WHP gain..But the product does look like it was made fairly well.
