A buddy of mine told me to cut off the top cats and run just the ones at the bottom and I'd still be smog legal (ca) and have a way better sound. Any one know about this???

dont waste your time working with the stock pipe. ford uses 2 different types of cats to help with their emissions. it shouldnt pass smog. best bet is to pay what is it 150 and then keep the stocker and swap them out

I've heard that If I run a non catted h or x pipe that the car will run like sh*t and throw my check engine light on is this true? does it effect drivability at all?

most of everybody on here runs no cats. my car runs no cats and doesnt throw a code. if youre car is OBDII then it would but since ours are OBDI it wont throw a code

i have a 89 i gutted out all four of my cats and my lx sounds f'n mean. i love the sound and i could see quit a bit more performance. as far as running like crap, i think that is crap. i have absolutly no problems with mine

You'd still be better off running an O/R H-pipe as opposed to gutting the cats. Especially when there's 4 of them since the large empty cat chambers will slow your exhaust velocity down, but if you want to look legal and don't want to spend the money then I say great job.

TAKE QUIKS ADVICE-JUST SWAP OUT YOUR H WHEN ITS TIME.

yea im running mine with a catless h-piple and it runs fine and sounds real mean. this one person who owned a civic said he got goose bumps when i reved my motor. no problems at all
