Cat delete and tuner
Hey guys, I am thinking about doing a Cat delete on my stock truck to improve MPG and ECTs and will eventually do an EGR delete, custom tune, and ARP studs. I do not want to spend the money right now on all of those (wife might have a cow because we have gone to a single income due to the birth of our first child
). If I do the Cat delete only, will the truck throw any codes/ or that obnoxious check engine light come on without getting a custom tune? Thanks for your help.

If you do the cat delete put it in a safe place.
Take a look at this thread. "Emission testing coming to California"

the cat delete works perfect. the muffler delete requires a little modification, mine wouldn't reach perfectly so i had to use a little pipe from the muffler and tack a few welds on it to keep it together with the clamp. Easy stuff and very worth it. Most diesel sites sell both.

I will definitely be keeping my old Cat. Never know when you are going to have to put it back on! The link that I posted stated "For installation in a stock exhaust system to delete the catalytic converter."
