was told at a muffler shop that , by removing the cat, it would give you about the same power increase as fitting headers, but a fraction of the cost. your thoughts on this..

I think you are either out for a troll and/or a complete tosser.

You would, what about everyone else? What about walkers and riders nearby? They shouldn't have to suck up your 1kw gain.

Aye, I was speaking from only me, not everyone else.

I know the harmful effects of not having a cat. Read the first few posts...I'M AGAINST THE IDEA.

There is a very good chance of it

No. You noticed the increase performance from the Extractors and the 2.5".

well nah not really coz i did all 3 at different time like over a year only did high flow cat as 1 was charging so that was the last and i think it gave me noticable difference but this may have meant my cat had shat itsself the honey comb might have been blocked a number partially still think its worth doing for the 300 bucks and the better sound

ok ive been to a few performance shops and none of them have ever mentioned it when i mentioned it they looked at me like "get the fucuck out of my store. There are many reasons not to decat a car mainly because its illgeal, the surrounding people while suffer from the effect worse than passive smoking (which has already been mentioned) and if noone else has mentioned it Decatting a car can actually rust the exhaust system because part of the cats job is to catch the condensation so when the cat heats up to optimum temperature it burns it off as vapour which is less harmful to the environment and the car so basically DO NOT decat a car theres too much **** that can go wrong *end rant*

No they aren't. Greenhouse gases rise above the air on the ground but form a very deep layer. The ozone is a different place entirely and greenhouse gases don't get up into the ozone.

The greenhouse gases aren't destroying our atmosphere, they are just accumulating and warming the earth (supposedly) hence being called "greenhouse" gases.

Ozone depleting gases are completely different.

Then how come the percentage of greenhouse gases havn't in the time we have recorded it increase or decrease for that matter within a normal variant.
BECAUSE ITS A CON!!!! Global warming is the biggest con since god i dont know pick one.
.. i could spout on why but who cares 1977 manaro orig condition with original 143,000kms $12,500 im buzzing out i need to find 12k!!!!!
