ya but in some states they only require you have a cat they don't do the smog inspection. here in CA there is actully one county that does not require smog.


....... I will buy 10ft of land there and place a mailbox on it!!

 

Here in Hawaii they don't check it just saftey inspection lights, brekes etc. I took the cat out of my Jeep Wrangler long ago but holding off on my 90 Dakota because I don't know about the small pipe that goes into the side of the cat.......I know it blows fresh air into the cat do I just let it hang there?

 

a hammer and a punch and few good whales. plus it works like an echo chamber like on a 2-stroke bike[:-]

 

well i took the cat off a couple weeks ago (it was giving me problems) 1st the flange on the outside of the cat was hitting my driveshaft thenwhen i fixed that ..turns out that the cone inside brke all up from it hitting so i cut it out and it really is like night and day i went from 12.5 mpg to 15mpg .....ur right guys peer pressure alwys works thanx

no problem!

 

I have found this on a few vehicles, a couple of my buddies had that when they took off their cat. We either folded it up or welded a bolt inside of it so its not getting any air. I dont really think that it does anything really.

 

it is the tube runnig from the air pump to the cat to pump air into it, only the older ones have it, and my grandpa has an 86 ford and we just bent it like you said noodle.

 

well it was nice not haveing the cat on but it looks like i will have to put one on, friken statey pulled me over in a pizza hutt parking lot...only got a warning but if is not fixed by next week it could go against me so i will just break the **** up in the cat then put my tail pipe back on but i did get over 16mpg with it off.........o'well i tried
