Default Cats Removed ?

I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF ANYONE HAS RUN NO CATS AND NO SIMULATORS. DOES THE COMPUTER FREAK OUT, OR DOES THE CAR HAVE STARTING PROBLEMS? OR DOES THE CAR SIMPLY HAVE THE SERVICE LIGHT ON?

You'll just get an SES if you ditch the cats without O2 sims or tuning.....

7/16ths of an inch...thats how far you have to move your pinky to hit the caps lock button dude.

i ran 2 months without sims, my SES light came on and stayed on but i had no problems witht he motor. Only problem you could run into is IF something were to go wrong with the motor, you woulnd't be able to know right away because the SES light is already on. There are no other issues with the computer as the rear 02's are there just to tell you if the cats are working properly or not.

no computer issues, no starting problems, just a bright *** SES light.
