Screw that! Get a MIL eliminator for $20 and gut your cat. I got mine off of ZXtuner and it works like a charm.

I hollowed my cat out though and it runs a hell of a lot better.
I'm gutting the cat on my MTX as soon as it gets warm. I've already got a MIL so why not?
With my CAI, UDP, FPR, and a walbro, it should make a fun daily driver.
BTW, WI doesn't have a sniffer test, just a OBD-2 test.

you can get a cat from advance autoparts for 275 bucks for a direct fit magnaflow.

no emissions check here in OK either so i'm probly gonna gut my cat and remove my res soon...want headers too:laugh: does anyone know if the DIY MIL elliminator on the forum really works? i'm an electronic tech so it won't be a prob for me to do this if it does work.
Just do a search on the forums. There's a schematic floating around. It's just a resistor and a cap. $2 at raidoshack. I'd also suggest that once you solder it all up, use some of that outdoor electrical tape that fuses together to cover it. That will make it perfectly water tight.

i was just wondering if it acctually works...correctly i mean. ie does it ever cause probs later or anything?
You will need to install mileliminators or the Check Engine Light will be on and they will fail the car for bad cats.I didn't really wanna start a new thread...I have the SVT though with the V6, is it still safe/doesn't hurt the car in any way if I gut the cat? inspection here is just a visual so as long as the pipe is there and they don't have x ray goggles i'll be fine.
