Can't afford y-pipe. Can I gut the pre-cat?
 

Ok, I'm broke. Can I gut that pre-cat thats on the stock y-pipe? Not my main cat but the little nasty lookin one. Would it even make any difference?

I really doubt it would. Don't think it's worth the time it would take to do this.

$160. Save up its worth every penny

It's not only the pre cats but the collector (or lack of) and smooth bends that allow your exhaust to flow better with an aftermarket Y pipe.

Don't waste your time gutting anything, save some $$ and get the right product for the outcome your looking for.

buy a used one, save some money - get a y pipe

just ave your money and od things right. check you regonal forums and ask around you are sure to find one somewhere.
