Last I heard of simulators being bought, they were about $75 each. Do the $5 non-fouler trick instead. I've even heard from some that the simulators threw a code, but the non-foulers didn't.

And you must have cut the resonator, because if you ditched a cat, you'd have had instant code...

I had a maxima which had a bolt on cat.After 90k it was sluggish so i unbolted it and used a air chisel to knock everything out of
the inside.Bolted it back up so it could still pass inspection and noticed a huge difference.I was hoping to do that to my dodge untill i saw there were
no bolts.Too bad i dont know how to weld.

Don't most places have DEQ where if you remove the cats the truck won't be able to be licensed?

The cats are covered as an emission item under warranty. They should be covered for 10yrs/100k I think. check your manual for confirmation for your truck. If so, the dealer will replace them for free.
