everyone here with a "stinky car", cat or not, has something wrong with it.
(exception: thoes with large amounts of valve overlap and carbs....)

Not trying to argue at all but all cars emit some amount of unburnt gas which in return smells stronger than if it was burned in a cat.I agree tho Carbed cars do tend to smell allot worse than efi. Most likely do to there fuel inefficency.

Getting tired of these arguments. There stupid. Cats there for a reason guys. If it isnt hurting you stop giving our cars a bad name and just use one.

I am not saying gutting a cat is ok. Actually, it is illegal and should NOT be done. But it is not going to give our "cars" a bad name. Many many performance cars do not have cats and sound good. Once again, I am not saying it's ok. You should always leave your cat on the car. If you're looking for a nice boost in performance, gutting the cat is not going to do it.
