Default Cats.

Lately i've noticed my cats have been starting to smell..so they are getting stuffed up. I have decided to have them cut off and just put some piping where they was Do you all think that is a good idea to do

If you live in an area that does not have inspections go ahead and remove them. You will need a couple MILs though for the 02's closest to the motor.

You would need MIL's for the 02's that were behind the now removed cats.

some times where the 02 is you can run the line up to the air pump and it will cancel out where the 02 is, make sure to run a pipe buit if you want a FAST temporary fix pull the cat out get a big drift and punch out all the platinum honeycomb filling out, its a free straight pipe plus you will still have to 02 in there (remove it before you hammer out the platinum)
