Default Main Cats HEHEHEH!!!!

Ok all this talk of gutting the pre cats has my garge a case of Chester Hard Root beer and my G/F all lined up for Friday nite. But I am one to go the extra mile. what would happen if I gut my main cats. I have to tools to make a nice clean cut right before or after the cat clean it out and then weld it back together. I was thinking I would probaly need the O2 sims.

Dude, do not GUT you main CATS..I did it and it's an easy job..But! It messes up the flow...The empty CAT cans cause turbulence and defeat the purpose. I have to go get new pipes welded in...

Have them cut out and have an offroad Xpipe welded in place of them...

I agree with Chuckster. EIther cut them out completely... or leave them (main cats) alone.
