With ~124k miles on my '96 my main cat is shot (according to my CEL) This puts me into a bit of a dillema. I got a dual exaust from a SVT I am waiting to put on, but I don't know if it's worth it with the cat in it's current status. I can't get my local shop to touch the cat (no suprise there) and I don't have access to a welder. I was thinking about getting a sho-shop catless y-pipe but that seems like a bit of wasted money when I could just chop mine off and hacksaw some straight pipe in it's place. Plus I heard the SHO-shop pipe has some heat issues.
I was wondering those without the main cat, how did you get that way?
