Hey guys!! I was wondering if there really is a big need for the converter. Would anything bad actually happen to the performance of the engine with not having the converter? Cuz mine's like rusted up and I'm thinkin', why not just make it a straight piping all the way to the muffler! Gimme your opinions.

I don't know what you guys are arguing about... but the CAT is one of the most expensive pieces of your exhaust system... taking it off, gutting, destroying it for any reason is pretty foolish considering the potential future costs to replace it. Removing it adds little to no extra power on a relatively stock motor...

Running aftermarket ECU, so it won't affect me. and yes global warming is real, but sooner or later the world's going to end anyways. |
