My questions about this are: With the exhaust mods I have, especially the Y-Pipe, do I have these Cat's on my car still? Also, how hard is it to take the Cat's from that post off the car to gut them, cause like Brad said, why chance it? Finally, I dont have the money for dyno or Apexi, but will I be running too lean with all the 'opening up' of my breathing systems? If so, how bad do you think it would be for the life of my engine? I want more power, but not at the expense of my engine's life! Thanks for the help! -Nick
YEs you have the precats, they only go bye-bye's if you buy headers.
And the precats are a biatch to remove, hence why we gut them in situ.
If you hook up a shop vac to the front precat while you are gutting it, it'll suck all the nasty dust out, so you will be ok.
