Cut the crap - cat. be gone

[wingzam]

I think my cats clogged to the point of causing running problems.The thing is placed right next to the transmission and i'd like to just cut it out.Would this have any effect on the mileage or computer function of an 87 2.9?

Beyond being illegal? Do you honestly want to document your intention of a federal crime on the internet? They need money ya know, fines are good revenue for them.

Don't give a damn about the government anymore

Not really the attitude we should have on a free website that is very against emissions law breaking..........

Now for the facts:
If you replace the cat with a straight pipe, it will sound like total crap, pop like hell, be iellegal, get you banned from trs if you brag, and stink up the cab (kill you in traffic, if you don't get it sealed properly soon)


But it's perfectly ok, to do that if it is extremely temporary, and you intend to get an aftermarket high-flow cat, it will also diagnose a clogged cat as the issue. If you replace it with piping (i don't know where your O2 sensors are located) it will run normal... but that doesn't mean it should be a permanent or good fix.

Just fix it right. Why are people so cheap?

 

[bigcountry]

you have the attitude of a teenager (i dont mean that be an insult if you arent) weve all been where you are just fix it right heck you could cut it off and clamp a new one on i cant see it being very expensive for that older modle truck or you could use this as a good time to redo your entire exhaust system with a aftermarket muffler and some new chrome tips

You'll care when they slap you with a GIANT FINE!

Replace them with a universal cat. They are not that much & besides it will hurt gas mileage. Another factor with no cats your truck will put out so many pollutions into the air. If you run no cats stay away from me I don't want to smell your stinky ass truck.

Damn liberals thinking cars will destroy the world...............

I'm not worried about the ozone.......... not when the oceans are pouring methane, the south poles glaciers are growing (but the norths are shrinking... hmmm) and the EPA is having a really tough time banning volcanoes.

But, the law is a pain, and catless rangers sound awfull.

Basicley from what I was told, the shop gave him a good deal because they wanted the platinum out of his old cat. They pulled the og cat out of the car(he bought it used) and the platinum was already stripped. Maybe shop was pissed because if that? small shop in Gulfport, MS called Japtech
