Default Gutted Random Technology Cats.....

I'm probably going to be picking up a pair of gutted Random Technology Hi-Flow Cats, a Random Technology Y-Pipe, and a Hooker Street Force Cat-back......

Local guy has all of it and I can pick it up for really cheap.......

I did some searching and wasn't able to locate a distinctive answer to my question......

If I install all of this am I going to get an SES/CEL due to the Random Tech cats being gutted?

I'm not really worried about emissions because I currently have an emissions sheet that is good for another year for when I renew my tabs and by the time I renew them again I will probably be living in an area that doesnt require emissions............

If it does throw a SES/CEL will it affect the way the car runs or rob performance at all?

You will most likely get an SES light something along the lines of cat inefficiency. It won't hurt performance and the light can be turned off with HPT.

Excellent, as long as it won't hurt my performance then I don't really care
