Default Anyone running without a cat ?

I was just wondering if taking my catalytic off would make a
difference in horsepower. Any one out there running without
a cat ?

The impression I got was in most cases the removal of the cat leads to less horsepower. Also, the ecu will give you a bad time unless you change to the aftermarket one. The O2 sensor in the cat has to be delt with.

Soon as you take the cat off, your sensor will give you a insuficiant reading....... It does not give u a large gain in HP, I do not think its worth it to take it off and mess up the computer system.
