should i get my cat taken off? CALI
i have 89 l98 vette engine in my 85 T/A with zz4 cam 1.5 rockers,shorty headers,aluminum heads, all stock piping into a 80 series muffler, im going to change my whole exhaust in about a month and i'm getting a new cat as well, my question is in the mean time i need to weld my Y pipe up to the existing exhaust will taking off the cat draw to much unwanted attention with my mods, or should i just have the Y pipe welded up to the cat or taken off? my car sticks out like white on black so im not sure, non of my smog or air pollution is hooked up as well!

First, please keep your political views to other websites.
Second, you arent going to pass CA emissions without a cat on there, so you must have one for the test. What you do during the rest of the two years between tests is your business. However, removing your catalytic converter on a street car is a federal offense, punishable by a fine, jail time, and/or both. Especially in this tree-hugging state of CA.
My ET and horsepower numbers are thru dual 2.5" Magnaflow cats, so if I can make this much power and be smog legal, so can you.
