Back pressure is your friend, the same thing can happen when you remove the cat... newer engines and engine controllers as designed to give you maximum torque and power with all the factory systems in place (for the most part)

You would need to change the timing up to help accommodate the lack of back pressure lost due to the free flowing exhaust...
