[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 893618, member: 55399"] :huh: What "hate"? Not sure what you meant by that. The original post said: That, and the somewhat desperate-sounding tone of the full post led me to presume that Towtrac was considering the drastic step of removing [b]all[/b] the cats in an attempt to save a few $$$ on gas. If you recall, the Y-pipe has four pre-cats between the exhaust manifolds and the two main cats on the exhaust pipe. No worries, KL. Guess you and I just interpreted Towtrac's original post differently. However, you did say: Not entirely true. If you replace the two main cats with a piece of "test" pipe, you'll need a new tune to prevent throwing a CEL code, which will mean ~$400 for an XCal3 + tunes. The only cats that can be totally removed without throwing a code are the four pre-cats on the Y-pipe. That's why the R/T Y-pipe is a direct bolt-on, plug-and-play part. [/QUOTE]
