Gutting my cat?

[mbertal2]

Does anyone know of somewhere that I can get some directions on how to gut my cat? I think I know but I don't wanna screw anything up. Thanks guys.

Directions? Just take a screwdriver and dig it all out.

I know that part, but where should I cut it to get it off, and what should I do to put it back on?

cut it wherever you want, and you are going to have to weld it back on, i slipped a piece of pipe through mine after i hollowed it out. you will have to get an o2 simulator to replace the o2 sensor that is by the cat, which you can find here - http://thunderracing.com/catalog/?ac...&vid=5&pcid=54

Will my car still be drivable until I get the O2 sim?

yes but it will set off a ses light on your dash that wont go away. also, the car wont run as efficiently because the computer isnt going to be getting real data from the fake o2 sensor. but no biggie

The car won't drive any differently. The rear O2 sensor is just to check to see if the cat is working, doesn't have any effect on performance/drivability. ;)

Thanx guys, I really appreciate it. I don't know what I would do without this message board.

Gutting a cat is not really even worth the effort...you wont really notice a performance difference...Only sound will be cracklier...plus,you wont pass emissions,if you need too.
