removing cat
i have a 97 250 with 460. i have the muffler cut off at the cat, and has been that way for a few years. what would happen if i removed the cat? the O2 sensor goes to the cat, can i just leave the O2 pipe hanging in the air? will that kill my mileage? thanx

this truck a obdII mass air ?

what about emmissions?
|
no, it's w/o mass air

It will be loud as hell. That O2 sensor is just for monitoring CAT efficiency... so the check engine light will come on.
|
you can also get o2 sims for a decent price. they are easy to bolt on and they will make that annoying light go off
|
It is a visual fail for an emissions test (if you have it), so just pay the $25 for the test and as soon as they see the missing cats you get a F.
One thing I have heard of people doing is removing the cats and then boring a hole in the cats with a broom stick. It is a brittle, honey comb shaped material in there. You need to have enough cat there to pass emissions. Joe. |
a friend of mine hollowed out a cat but left it on...screwed up back pressure and gave him crappy gas mileage
