They said that in the 50s and before we see the effects now....
I'm sure if you have grandkids they will love to see this post.

I'll run my stockers till they die and replace with highflows then.

I think its important not to pointless kill off our only home and think of the bragging rights "oh my car it still has cats its nothing I swear"

If I was looking to harm the environment purposely then there are millions of ways to do that. I told you guys that I don't run cats because it was expensive to have high flows in place. + In the 50's no one had cats.....it was worse off back then than now.

LMAO environmental genius at work here!! Any of you brainiacs even read? The effects of global warming is very real and is caused by emissions from a lot of things. Cars being one of them. IF you care or dont care doesnt matter it effects you, and you dont even know it is. My take is that the earth is a nice place to live to bad we're to stupid and have screwed it up. You cant even eat fish out of the ocean. They said it would happen in the 70's and it has. Polution is real and the results and effects are astonishing, but most are too stupid to understand it. And you know how that goes "ignorance is bliss"

all this preachin is hurtin my ears..you should talk to some of the major poluters..power plants and heavy industry..but they make payments to all the appropiate people in Washington and get away with it..a few hot rodders running without cats isn't making a hill of beans in the big picture...please spare us the sermon...

Whatever man. An "are you running cats or not" thread seemed to open the door for discussion.

Ok so on your theory, Stalin killed 60+ million people if I shot the Pope thats just one man so no biggy right?

Just because others refuse to be sound and are more so of the problem what does us caring and doing our little part hurt?

If you are catless and in a smogged state how did you pass I'll bet its the same way as a big company did a greased palm. I'm not on a soap box or looking for a fight, I just feel its quite unreasonalbe for anyone to run catless on a daily driver.

edit so its not totally O/T : catless cars do tend to stink I have owned one for a bit. Even with tuning had a smell to it
