Speaking hypothetically if I were to remove my catalytic converter on my 85 firebird I know it wouldn’t be legal . But if I did would there be any negative effects on my car with the computer or any other problems ? The 02 sensor is located before the cat . Thanks

 

no . it might even let it breath better .

 

Hypothetically speaking just do it.

 

You could have hypothetically used the and read the other threads about this topic.

Then you'd find out its better and legal to replace your stock cat with a high performance aftermarket cat from Magnaflow, Catco, or Random Technology. That way you remain legal and dont give us hot rodders a bad name. You can even sell your stock cat to a metal recycling place and get money back for it.

 

suck it dude

 

lol

 

Speaking from a Camaro owner who has had all 4 possibilites of cat/cat delete options (Straight Pipe, Gutted Cat, Regular Cat, and High Flow Cat)... I'm happy with the high flow cat. A gutted cat sounds almost exactly the same. You'll notice the most power with a straight pipe, but it's really not even that much. If you go with a gutted cat or high flow cat you'll have a deep tone. If you go with the stock cat you'll have a hollow tone. and if you have the straight pipe you'll notice a fast medium tone.

It's been said that a 5 horsepower gain is added on a cat delete/cat gut, a 2 horsepower gain is done on a high flow cat.

You will not get any error codes from plugging your Smog Pump, Leaving it hang there, or bending it out of the way.

Hope this helps.

 

Grow up. If you did a search in the first place you wouldn't even need to make this thread.


Great contribution to the thread. That post was 100% needed.
