Do I really need Cats ??????

I'm about to order my LGs Header System and am wondering, do I really need Cats on it?

I'm mainly a street guy and doubt if I'd ever race my car but I have a Halltech CAI and a Corsa Exhaust.

I've seen the photos of what's taken out when this system is installed vs what goes in and I'm amazed that the difference....

I live in a no inspection area and guess I could always later order the cats to go in if needed......

What say you all about this ????????

If you can put up with the raw exhaust smell, you can give it a try.

I'd personally run cats on my car even if I were in a no inspection state.

I have Corsa Pace with no cats,A.R.H.'s on my h/c car and it's not bad.It gets loud when you get on it but you can cruise along with the radio on low and carry on a conversation with no trouble.

I don't smell anything unless I stand behind it.

Ordered my...

Decided after speaking with the Tuner that I'd go ahead and get the LG Street LOng Tubes with the Cats.

I'm going to have them do a Tune once I've got everything installed.
