Hi,

I took off my CAT today to empty it, had hard time to do that because of the design of the CAT, anywy after few hours we done it. Tried to install spark plug anti fouler but found out the hole in the CAT is bigger, so it has to be custom made, so i just installed it back again, and the results in the sound you feel something is strange, and it didn't turn my CEL on, as for power I still can't fell it., maybe later on when I take a long ride.
i will drive it for a while and will custom a pipe later on.

You do realise that driving without a CAT IS ILLEGAL and if you get caught you will get fined a few grand?

$2500 in melbourne to be exact... for a purposely emptied cat (doesnt include blown or leaking cats, only purposely emptied ones)

and btw it doesnt do jack all... lots of car magazines have done dyno comparisons of cat and no cat (so restriction vs NO RESTRICTION AT ALL) and got about 0.3KW at whele diff... if u feel that on ur chair... u have the world's most sensitive ass

Why you call it stupid if you never tried it. Who said there is no CAT, and I have just emptied it. Yes there is diffrence a friend have done it in his M3, and he gained power. I have done it before even at my 1.0L car and felt improvment.
You can check this www.daewootech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3849&start=0
Where Evo took off the CAT and install a pipe, so it has nothing to do about senstive ASS.
BTW where I am we don't get fines for exhaust, so no worry for me. I will test the car today and see if there is diffrence.

damn, shame on you. Polluting our environment worse than it already is.

How dare you. Killing our environment so that you can go a little bit faster, lose some weight and then youll go faster.

What an asswad

hope you get caught by the EPA and get reammed, because that's the most stupidest thing to do. You have no idea what a CAT Converter does do you? Lock yourself in a enclosed garage for a few minutes with your car on and you'll get the picture.

The damage this "mod" causes to the enviroment as well as the risk of getting a hefty fine for the improvement it gives the car.. if any... doesn't add up IMO.

My friend had a straight thro pipe on his prelude and it would backfire and is loud as a mf n he copped a big fine.

:thumbdwn: is my 2c

If I had more info I would report this asswad.

Last time I checked we all lived on this so called planet, and no one has the right to endanger someone else's health so carelessly. You my friend are an idiot.

Your probably the type of person who throws there trash in the street, pours there oil down the drain.

You dont deserve to live in a land as clean as ours, your home should be in the garbage tips you see on tv.

I'm not a health fanatic, or a clean freek or a greenpeace supporter, but I do have morals, and would not harm the earth for the sake of performance. Just in case ur wondering read my sig to see what i drive

OK Emptying your cat is illegal and not good for the environment so that's it. Case closed!
