I did a search and couldn't find anything but i'm not really liking the way my car is running after I had my muffler guy cut off my cats and put pipes in place of them. I'm thinking after I get some 4.10 gears I'll have a tuner tune my car but i'm wondering what's wrong...

At idle the car sometimes takes a while to go from.. lets say 1050rpm to normal ~900rpm....and sometimes it will go up and down from 900-1000....I went to the track yesterday and they were racing more for fun and the time board wasn't coming on at first but when it did the guy I was with said my trap speed was only 95mph and i was running only 14.4 at best....

Last week I was getting 14.2-3 consistantly at 97.7mph~....I'm thinking maybe a tune would help the car and I'm not sure but I hear no cats can sometimes make the car run either more lean or too rich but I'm not sure which i'm doing. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am thinkin of gutting my cats....so been looking into this....and if i am wrong, some one please post. You have an O2 sensor before and after the cats. The ones before need to stay in place and register so the computer knows you have flow going through the exhaust and cats. the ones after register the exhaust post cat. When you eliminate the cat, there is no change in the registry for the front to back O2 sensors. You would need to get a welded bung and tune or just an O2 sensor eliminator kit to take care of this. It will or may throw a check engine code. Tuning it will take care of it.

Get yourself a set of these,
Mustang MIL Eliminators at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Plug them into your rear O2 sensors and then plug your harness back into them,your car will run normal again and you check engine light will go away as well,you're all done. Actually I just saw they don't have them anymore,they are getting hard to find for some reason,but there are about 50 places in the Mustang mags that carry them,you should be able to find some there.

this is what i got from scottykilmer@scottykilmer.com GREAT INFO FROM THIS GUY ( it will probably make your check engine light pop on but otherwise it should run fine, it actually should run a little faster that way with less back pressure. Just check the color of your spark plugs BEFORE doing it, and then recheck them a few hundred miles after to make sure they're not running too rich (black) or too lean (really bright white.) u may lose TQ but if ur lookin to gain some noise ...you got it. HEY ONEBADTV post a vid of exhaust
