Just wondering if i should gut my car or just weld the air tube on to it myself, I hear people with gutted cats havent any problems with their ports opening, so I figured that the racepipe with the rube welded on it would do the same

yeah, as long as thier is a split air pipe running from the exhaust back to your ports they 'should' still open.

You have an S4 right?

Nobody can answer the question because nobody can tell you if there will be enough pressure in the exhaust to do it, if there is, it'll work, if not, it won't.

Yeah, like ^ said. You could try electronically operated aux ports.

Or save yourself a shitload of money and use the airpump, which should already be there.

Its a S4, the airpump doesnt open the ports, the back pressure from the car does
