the thought had passed through my mind about gutting my cat out.....how many problems could arise from doing this versus gains and noise. would it be worth it?i have my emmisions test this weekend just figured why the hell not.

You will possibly gain .00001 hp while spewing extra toxins in the air and disturbing your neighbors with even more noise. So if it is worth doing all of that for little to no hp gains then go ahead and do it.

Gutting or removing a cat does not give any real gains unless you are running forced induction.

and your car will sound like crap and feel like it too

sorry fellas....i couldnt resist a free mod(wether it did anything or not) there is little to no performance gains from what i can tell but it does sound a little bit deeper and louder. more deeper than loud.if anything i was happy to finally get under the car and DO something lol.

way to kill the environment. just think your kids will be living here one day!

You havenow done the number 1 ricer mod. Removing a valuable emmisions piece even though it gives absolutely no hp.

I hope you get caught.

I also hope your car starts to stink and removes all the pleasure of driving it.

Now what are you going to do when you go for your next emissions test??

actually i had my test the day i did it(before of course) the guy couldnt find where to plug the computer in so he just passed me. i figure the next one is 2 years away i'm sure between now and then i can buy a new cat to put on for those occasions.you all act like it's the worst thing in the world to gut your cat. there seems to be plenty more people out there that are spewing alot mor crap into the air than i am. is there anyone out there that is not against it?

id say its fine but really you get almost no gain out of it
