Cats or no cats

BAC05 · November 17th, 2010, 11:08 PM

Got mufflers welded on (flowmasters) i'm thinking about taking the cats off. Is it worth the cash getting them cut?

Will it hurt or improve gas mileage?

If they're cut, what o2 simulators should I get?

no buy an off road H off jegs or summit.

BAC05 · November 17th, 2010, 11:13 PM

I still would need o2 simulators wouldn't I?

stal94gt · November 17th, 2010, 11:16 PM

I'm to lazy for that. Plus I've got limited knowledge in electronics.

Cats are not required in my state but no one will remove them. All businesses will receive a 10,000 fine if they get caught removing them. Not sure of your state rules but you should check it out. You could just unbolt it and blow them apart of the inside with gas. Just torch em and bolt it back on. They will be on but it will be the same as not having them. It will be a little bit louder.

You can remove them legally if your emissions exempt.

Catalytic Converters are required by Federal law for all licensed vehicles. That means they are required in all 50 states. Some states do not have inspections and the law is not strictly enforced but shops that cut out cats are subject to huge fines if they get caught. Off-road pipes are sold for vehicles (race cars) that are not licensed to drive on the roads. In states without inspections you can usually get away with running off-road pipes. But an LEO looking under your car can still give you a ticket.

Just get a O/r x-pipe Don't buy pypes brand . Save you stock pipe for inspection/emissions .
