How would I go about gutting my cats. I have searched here and DT but could not find anything on how to so this. Thanks

 

That's basically because it violates federal law...

 

If you must know, first know a couple other things...

1) like Hammer said, its a felony
2) If you're doing it for performance, just ditch the cat. If you're doing it for performance AND still pass emissions, forget it -- MOST shops can tell somethings fishy if they see cuts before and after the cat where you R&R'd it, so they'll tail pipe test it and you'll still fail

If you must know though, people basically just use a pipe (2.25") and force it through the cat using whatever means necessary (hammer, sledge, ground, etc.)


Again, really not worth it, so dont do it

 

No i dont think I will be doing it. Weedahoe Lives in Ga as so do I and he doesn't have any cats on his truck and I could have sworn we had to have them. Well thanks for the input

 

Well cats are required my law on any new vehicle. That is true. Doing anything to alter them can get you into trouble but it is something we all take a chance on when doing. Its true in GA we do not do visual checks or sniffer checks of any kind so we can kinda get away with it.

However, I live in Albany and not a single shop around here will do anything to the cats. You must have them to have the truck serviced by any muffler shop. I had to go out of town to get my exhaust work done

 

We dont have emmisions in Michigan either, but will removing them throw a error code or check engine light come on?

 

HELL OUT OF MY LEAGUE I'M IN CAPSlol really outside of a racing application you do know this is a truck rite? so why burn it like a muscle car? Doesn't make sense.

 

i just removed the cats from my car (camaro) but i dont see the point really w/ a truck

 

Is there any benefit in changing to a high flow cat vs the stock or is the stock free flowing enough?

 

i say its free flowing enough, i think your money would be better spent else for performance
