well my catalytic converter is clogged and i dont have a job or money. so... would it screw up the computer or O2 sensor if i just cut off the cat (the bolts are too rusty to remove) and clamp and a piece of pipe on there with exhaust clamps for the time being?


btw, if its against the rules to even discuss this here, im very sorry for bringing it up and feel free to lock my post.

 

It would work, but it would also suck. You would have trouble with emessions without a cat.

Get a job.

 

Your O2 sensor is mounted before your cat. It will still function normally but remember your cat is the main part for pollution control.

 

ive been looking for a job for the past month, dairy queen said they might call me

 

it will just sound terible and your low end power will go to **** trust me i drove around with it disconected for about 2 weeks

 

why would your power go down? it shouldnt be from no backpressure because they make high flow cats for reason...

 

oh sorry i miss read i didnt see the part about putting straight pipe in it place thats fine i thought you were going to run it straigh out the ypipe im also running a straght pipe and its fine didnt notice a difference in performace

 

I have my exhaust set up like that and my 0 to 3500rpm range is actually better than when I had my cat. on earlier?
