that would be my guess...but then why not just take them off???

I'm not sure about the cost, but my car came without cats on it. There's pipes where they used to be. I live in Oklahoma where we don't have inspections
Really kind of pointless to leave them on there since any law that requires them will probably require an emissions test anyway...

u know there are people on this site that will pay 150 for a set of cats off of a ls1, u may wanna look into a catless y-pipe and sell the cats off for $$

Some states, like mine, have a visual without the sniffer. I have an ORY so I can't pass, but I could with gutted cats.

I gutted the ones on one of my cars. Didn't feel like trying to weld the flanges on a piece of pipe because they're not straight. I just needed to bolt up and go.
Gutting them was a pain though, seems to be a layer of asbestos in there too.

If u want cats--get aftermarket ones and sell/keep stockers...Magnaflow has many MUCH better flowing ones.

It doesn't mess with your rings. It will throw a code, but you can get that tuned out or use 02 sims.

Im still in need of a new car.

Would a local (Mustang type place) shop be able to tune it?

Dont gut cats. It ruins flow.

Matay726

Straights then? I hate the sound it makes though.

If they have ls1 edit or hp tuners...

Would straights mess your seals?
