[michaelmyers323]

i was wondering if i take off my cats will it mess up my engine? tons of people tell me i get good horsepower out of it. But others tell me that it will mess up my car? what should i do?

Kenny go for it......You wont regret it ...............
the only thing you need to worry about is passing the smog check inspection.My advice is get an off road pipe X or H)
and keep your stock H pipe so when you need to pass the smog check all you got to do is swap the pipes..

i see? but doesnt a check engine lit up on your dash? i hear you can cut that wire off? also how loud will it be? enough to get pulled over?

Well my friend told mee that u have to get a new o2 sensor....that should fix that check engine light....

Its going to be loud...probaby over like 95db. i think.

I am doing the swap as we speak... Yes you can remove them and i am going with the Bassani Off-road X-pipe, as for your check engine light... Get you set of 02 Simulators...

They set you back 80-100 bones and you wont have to worry about any lights or messing up anything.

thanxs guys..that helps..also martin...is ur engine light coming out right now as we speak? cuz u got no cats? also do i lose torque?

[adamcate]

yes you will lose some torque. if you are going for speed get some highflow cats..... for sound go no cats. I have seen bassani high-flow x-pipes trapping almost 1mph faster than o/r bassani x-pipes.

Hate to sound like a tree-hugger, but leave the cats on. Your grandkids will thank you.

Here is a good compromise: How about switching to high flow cats? I did this on my Bronco. The difference in flow and sound is amazing. The extra increase in performance made me happy. Plus the smog police are happy too. I think this is a good compromise.
