Default will removing cats on 87- cause code problems
I want to remove the catalytic convertors on my 87, but was wondering if that will cause the computer to throw error codes? Also,
what to do with the air injection line to the rear cat?

Thanks SPoke

No codes. You can remove the line or just cap it off at the end.

No, but it will set off the Bogus.

Pup cats? that's one thing, but the main cat? I don't get it...
