cat delete or not

Hi guys, just wondering what you all think of ditching the rear cats? from my understanding this will not throw a cel.

am i asking for any negative effects performance, reliability, or mpg wise?

where i live there are no emission laws.

mostly looking for more growl, already had the muffler replaced with a deltaflow.

just wondering what you all think of doing this and any comments from people that already have

thanks.

 

I had the same questions & I did not do it due to an overwhelming response that I would lose low end power. So here I am with an aftermarket muffler that I can barely hear....

 

i had a chat with "memario" who took his cats off and said he couldnt really notice a lack of power in low rpm.....

 

How about some headers?

 

I wish I could delete my wife's cat, actual cat btw. It would cause a total loss of low end and high end "power" tho as I wouldn't be getting any for a while.

 

Dont bother

 

mine got stolen and i now get 9 mpg sooooo if you wanna sell yours to me id be happy

 

dont the DTLT eliminate 2 cats?

 

I don't really see the point any more. Modern catalytic converters are not restrictive enough to make a difference.

 

I Removed mines, I'm getting 23-34 mpg highway and 20-21 mixed town/highway. that's with my flowmaster and a drop in k&N and secondary filter removed.

 

Sounds great! congratulations!

 

What he said.

 

ok how about 3 cherry bombs all welded together?

 

dont listen to these hippies, I took of my rear 2. little more growl, im thinking of taking off the front 2 off and just putting 1 high flow 1 in the middle of the exhaust (like 1st gen 3.4 v6), or if I move to a non commie area ill take them both off.

 

ya 0 emission testing here if it has 4 wheels and an engine you can drive it

 

Then why bother asking. Just cut that shit off from the header back and get some serious loud sound.

 

LOL

They weren't saying don't do it due to emissions, they were saying it from a low end power stand point.

It will throw a CEL depending on what emissions package your truck came with. You might need to put a resistor where the rear 02 sensor is to trick the ECU.

 

i did it, felt no lack in power or loss in mpg. it also sounds great!

 

did removing the back cats throw a check engine code on your truck?

 

Also curious... did it???
