Question On Catalytic Converter
So when I do my exhaust I was thinking of getting a Magnaflow hi-flow spun cat. But should I do that or keep my stock cat and just gut it....or will it throw a code??? How much difference is there in power and air flow between the two? Thanks.

Removing my catalytic converter has had the single biggest impact on my truck performance since I did the plenum repair.
Cut out the cat and welded in some pipe. |
Do you have emissions tests? Just gutting the cat or removing it will throw a code but its easy to fix and make go away.

to each his own, but i gutted my cat and it sounded like absolute ****. i couldn't stand it, so after spending a couple of hours patiently gutting it, i removed the whole thing.
if you do anything, be aware that you can sell the cat, or its innards for real money. i got $49 for the guts. i think stewie got about $75 for the whole cat. http://www.sellyourcatsdirect.com/ by the way, i've not gotten a CEL after removal of the cat |

But I agree with DH, either remove or replace, don't gut. |
Go with the Magnaflows I did//Love the sound and performance..

Thanks for your replys guys it's a huge help. Yes in north east Ohio we do have emissons testing, and they mirrior it too (I know it sucks). So I think I'll get the Magnaflow, it will be legal, flow good, and sound good too. And if I have to I'll do the non fouler trick on it. And when I sell my old cat, the money from that should pay for the new one.:D

Really? No non fouler...I can still use stock o2?
|
High flow cat should fit in place of the old one, shouldn't need to use the non fouler trick. Stock O2 should be fine.
