    Good idea^^

    When I was Y&S….
    I took off cats for my AutoX car(which was also my DD). So smart.
    bc car was AWD, state inspection places could not hook up to sniffer(no double tire rollers) so no issues getting inspected

    after a while, I just couldn’t deal with the smell of the exhaust. Eventually put on 3inch high flow cat from JEGS/summit

    I live in an area with no emission inspections, not really looking for comments other than links for “test pipes” to eliminate the cats from people who have taken the same route

    If your state doesn’t smog, why not go to a muffler shop and have them make it for you? I would assume materials and labor shouldn’t be more than a few hundred bucks for a 2 cat delete.
