why did they go with 2 more cats on the 2013??
..my guess would be the same as an 01 z, they had 4 cats..and the reason then..was smog reg's...run cleaner..worried the car would'nt pass CA reg's...
maybe some other reason like enviornmental reg's put on GM by the govt.maybe getting ready for the 2014 engine...??
