snowman,

Not too sure what you are referring to. The metal box which the exhaust tips are attached to is commonly called the muffler or silencer box.

it's a cross pipe. mainly to sync your exhaust pulses. it's too small to be an effective silencer.

Snowman,

I think u r better off taking the cat than to take out the mid silencer. That will give u more torque and revv will climb faster.

U don have to bother operating the silencer unless u so wish, just remove it. Like u said, it's only a silencer, to reduce noise only.
