    cats are for lamers


    j/k, actually sometimes I wish I had gotten the high-flow cat section so my car wouldn't smell like a motorboat.

    you can see by the responses to your thread about how many ppl actually have cats. cats are the worst invention ever...unless you care about the environment or something stupid crap like that.}:)}:)

    I think a big ticket from the cops might also make someone keep a cat. How much are they, like $1500 I was told. Not sure but that would suck.

    Yeah, you've gotta really go out of your way to make things personal for law enforcement to impound your car and test it for emissions. Just because the general emissions testing is gone doesn't mean we did away with the EPA laws governing emissions control devices.

    Helps to have a standalone ECU to run catless. Then you don't have to worry about all those CEL things or your O2 sensors giving you crap. And amazingly I still run closed-loop. Is the only real advantage of that catless being the better fuel economy or what?
    edit: last line referring to running closed-loop...

    Or just go through a tech-inspection at a (the) DNR-run off-road park....although you guys probably don't have too much trouble with that....yea, I've got my cat's, though I may remove one of them.


    martin, you are devious }:)

    I took mine out for fun to see how it changed the car.. no real difference but the fuel economy may be better... may put it back in.. problem is mine is a business car so the fine would be more like $10000... ha hah wife would not be happy... may put it back in soon.. we'll see.. ha ha ha

    When I switch pipes I am going to stay with a highflow cat, because the amount of power increas is insignificant to the amount of pollution/smell. Maybe it is because I am an environmental engineer specilizing in air quality too....

    True, the benefits of Radio shack resistors pretty much end after the preventing the CEL thing, ha.
