How do you gut it

 

Hack off the pipe behind the cat, pull the front O2 sensor, smash up the stuff inside the cat with an appropriate object, then rev the engine a couple times to blow all the crap out. Weld the pipe back together. Reinstall the O2 sensor.

 

I am sure you have been asked before....but I go through emissions how would that effect that they have never done a sniff test even on my 89 nissan they. Just use a mirror to make sure its there

 

If all they do is check to see that one is in there, you would be good. If they ever do a test on exhaust, you will fail.

 

I had to gut the cat on my truck, then wait a few months until I could replace it. I hated it. I can't stand a loud vehicle.

 

Ok so what about a gutted cat with a muffler of some sort? h@ll even stock

 

The stock muffler is HUGE. I don't think the cat would matter with that in place. On mine, I have the huge feller, and a gutted cat, nice and quiet. Almost too quiet.....

 

I ask cause I have my muffler off now "huge sucker" I like it now but if it gets louder the wife would murder me in my sleep ;p

 

If you keep the stock muffler, your wife won't notice the gutted cat.

 

Music to my ears ty my good man now of course another question if I do this do I need to do the non fouler trick so im not running to rich or lean?
