If he enjoys it so what, noone here walks on water do they?
If I could get away with it Id have headers and no cats either.

Carbon Monoxide is odorless. That's one of the reasons it's so dangerous. Odorless and colorless, you realize you have carbon monoxide poisoning when you wake up with a bad case of being dead.

Cats clean CO2 not CO, will always have carbon monoxide in the combustion process
The bigger issue may be whether the ecm will accurately control the fuel ratio for fuel mileage and efficiency. Those that run race headers and x pipes are doing the same thing.

I agree with that although in an enclosed area, any gas produced other then O2 will cause death if enough is produced. I really don’t agree with removing the cats but there is no reason to jump all over this guy. Not saying you did. I wouldn’t exactly call a Corvette a clean emissions car to start with. Tons of vintage cars on these forums with no emissions at all.

Wow. Just, wow.
My Vette stinks quite a bit more than a Prius. And, a **** ton more than a Tesla. So did my Trans Am when I was 17. Reagan was President and a lot of today’s bullshit didn’t exist.

Three-way cats address CO, HC, and NOx - all of which are local pollutants. That stuff goes into your neighbors' lungs. What they do in China or the developing world with regards to cats hardly reaches us.

I was in China back in 2005, and every new car in Shanghai and Beijing had EFI and cats.

Frankly, if Brazil stopped slashing down the rainforest we'd be in a totally different place co2 wise.

"Wow, a 1970 Chevelle SS? You should install some high-flow cats!"
"Hey John Force, I think you need to install some cats on your funny car. It will be so much more efficient and quieter."
I know of 2 situations where cats got clogged, and created havoc for the engine.
Defense of cats on a muscle car is completely bizzarre to me.
If I had the money and time, I would immediately and permanently remove mine also.
