Default Cat Delete help

Hi, I'm NOT deleting cats to GAIN 10hp .... (the car is fast enough for me)

I'm getting the "borla x pipe and ti by pass mod" done next week and i would like to delete stock cats with straight pipe

....(coming from a mustang that was O/R x pipe with flowmasters i need this car to be louder than stock)

My Question is what are my options since im sure ill get CEL and what not is there a way around it like unplugging a fuse or is the car required to be tuned?

(ill have to swap cats in every 2 years for Etest)

thanks


hers what my mustang had done

Get it dyno tuned. The tuner can turn off the rear O2s and you will have no codes or check engine light.
