Agreed here. The original cats used in the 70s were grafted onto existing systems and, like most other emissions controls of the era caused more problems than they solved.If you are that concerned with the extra 1% power or less you will gain, and are that broke that you cannot afford a high-flow cat, grab one from a 4.0 Ranger/Explorer/Navajo/Mountaineer of any year. The factory cat flows almost as good as any aftermarket cat of the same size. If your truck has a 4.0, why are you upgrading something that isn't holding your motor back?
Again, agreed. The prices muffler shops charge you for putting cats in a custom system are ridiculous. There really should be a price cap on it, because I know for a fact that it doesn't cost nearly that much to put them in.I don't have any problem with them being on a vehicle, it is whatever. I do have a problem with exhaust shops that want to ass rape you when you do custom exhaust - ie charging $250+ more to add cats when you can get universal ones for $40. Fawk that.
Not I.+99.5% of people who are worried about a CEL from a mod have to pass some sort of emissions or safety inspection that lists a CEL as rejectable, or plan to drive it on the street as a commuter.
word!!!i've actually gone around with the mods about this stuff before.
Here's my point of view:
I don't give a crap. If you want to go break the law go right ahead. Don't come crying to us when you get in trouble and, oh, by the way, thanks for adding to the air pollution.
Here's the staff's point of view:
One of you is going to get in trouble and then turn on trs because you got the information here on how to do it. Then i'll be getting sued because someone did something they should have known not to do and played stupid.
You have to remember, we live in a country where people can sue mcdonalds because their coffee is hot and win.
The staff is just trying to protect us from liability.
