Should I go catless?

This already tells me that you seem to be only asking if you should go catless for the 'wow' factor. I'm sure you can hear a slight different in exhaust note, but it'll probably just be your mind playing tricks on you. I've also ran a catless turboback for YEARS and have shot flames out once or twice. If you want to shoot some flames, run your car pig rich and leave a lighter by the exhaust tip.



Where is your sensor?

Got a sensor on my dp and after my hi flow cat.

shhhh dont tell anyone..ahah but im catless. full 3" turbo back. alot of exhaust leaks. i gotta fix that but if i were you i would keep the cat. i want to put a hi flow cat on my set up. scared of cops. and when it comes to smog here in CA i wont have to swap it all for the stock exhaust. + its hurting our environment. haha.

well im in chicago they dont hook nothin up to your exhaust or look if u have a cat or not...all they do is hook up a scanner. plus i wont have to go back for another 2yrs and i know by then i will have dsmlink or a different car who knows..

Thats not a resonator, its a flex section. It allows the motor to torque back & forth & not stress the whole exhaust system.

If i run a str8 pipe and delete my cat will the aem wideband still be accurate?

If your sensor is in your downpipe, changing anything after that will not affect the readings.

Since I'm all for putting a smack down on the environment, I so go full cat-less, with a test pipe to bolt in a cat when you do need to get smogged.

Test pipe, ftw.

I agree I loved it when i got rid of mine!

If it were me, I wouldn't go catless. Its not worth it hurting the environment for a slight increase in performance. If you already have a high flow cat you won't gain much more.

You gotta keep in mind that 90% of cats out there are so plugged that they're stealing so much hp and fuel economy that THEY'RE actually the whats hurting the environment. A health running car without a cat will still put out less emissions than one that runs like donkeydick and has a cat.

And to the OP, as long as you're not gonna get busted for going catless and face some ridiculous fine, do it up.
