Get an exhaust shop to replace the cats with some pipe. Gutted cats cause massive turbulence which is nearly as restrictive as before.

A straight through 3" system will kick your a$$!!! Just be sure to get a FCD and make sure your fuel pump is getting the right amount of voltage car first. I just put one on and it it so far the best thing to do with a stock setup.
