Did you remove all the baffles?
How does the car sound now?
Having heard Mol & Squirrel's DIY cat-less/baffle-less set up and my stage 1 kit next to each other, they are very similar in sound but the stage 1 kit has deeper bass in the exhaust note. They both sound great IMO; I prefer the Stage 1 exhaust note but the hole saw method is much cheaper and you get to retain your original heat shields without the added cost of the new brackets, heat-shields and having to drill another hold in the side of the Mog.
