well, it's not just a few extra horse power.

florida has no emissions requirement.

the likelihood of the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide coming from my car doing any damage to anyone is virtually 0 given how little i drive and the fact no one is allowed to suck on my tailpipe anymore ever since that incident with my 88 in 99.

I like the smell. Stay well back if you don't. this isn't canada.

I like the sound.

I can put the cat back on if I need to.

whats the problem now?

i loveee the smell too..

Perhaps, but bumping a 2-year old thread for no good reason also = Fail. ;)

Sorry for old thread bump, im looking at an 8 without a cat and was wondering how much it would be to get one put on.

laythor 11-29-2009 08:29 PM

if you buy a used cat here.. pretty cheap. if you buy a replacement cat from a dealership.. pretty expensive. Or you could get an aftermarket high flow cat put on.

ps: it's got nothing to do with f'ing global warming either, it has more to do with the ensuring a suitable future for your family, assuming you're going to have one. Hopefully somebody this selfishly irresponsible won't .... :sadwavey: what else can you call deleting a cat converter for 5 measly hp at 8500 rpm for a car that rarely ever sees it, yet constantly pollutes regardless :dunno:

You sound like you don't know exactly know what catalytic converters do or why they were invented.

global warming is questionable at best, air quality is a different story entirely

Your arguments would be valid if the majority or even 1% of motorists removed their cats butttttttttt they don't so quit whining.

My car sounds awesome with my midpipe. And I hardly smell it cuz it's windy around here.

HWK11 11-29-2009 11:58 PM

does midpipe get rid of the warm cup holders

alz0rz 11-30-2009 12:01 AM

Using that argument, is it then OK for some company to dump toxic waste or expose you as a worker to hazardous chemicals because it's cheaper and they're less than 1% of the ones who do it? It's the exact same argument and rationale.

Nobody's whining, but somebody is being a clueless dumbass. Go pedal your fail somewhere else.

Dumping toxic waste =/= removing a cat. Apples and oranges guy.
