Re: Thinking about removing 1 catalytic converter
Try a 10k fine. Any tampering with the exhaust cats is illegal.
However, my truck has no cats.
----------
As for how to do it, I find its really easy to remove the front of the cats nose. Then you can weld it to your pipe (3" fits nice) or weld it to your replacement cat. This makes a nice bolt on install to the Y-pipe.

I dont think so. Any vehicle with fuel injection is going to have cats. And I think FI came out in the 70's

the federal law also says it's illegal to download music and not pay for it but people still do it. its also illegal to sell tobacco to minors and people still do it. im minus a cat and no one has said anything. i'm also minus a muffler. ya know what NO ONE HAS SAID A WORD!!! so i don't see the big deal as long as no one checks for it. cats are eventually gonna get clogged and you'll have to replace them.

Cool, fuck our environment. Something that ACTUALLY matters to you and me.
It is still ILLEGAL, and you can get in trouble for it just like downloading music illegally or buying tobacco for minors.

You guys are idiots, start another thread if you are gonna just derail mine. I asked a simple question, how do i replace my two cats with one... and it has turned into a ignorance fest highlighting your stupidity. I'm seriously done with forums. Just filled with people who love to flame others and try and make themselves feel smart or cool or tough.
Get a life I'm outta here.

YOU CAN NOT REPLACE TWO CATS WITH ONE, IT IS ILLEGAL. a vehicle is required to have the same number of cats as was equipped from the factory.
how is that stupid? how is that ignorant? ignorant is saying you know it's illegal and doing it anyways. this forum doesn't need you anyways, good riddance.

It is possible of you are crafty or have a good mechanic. From the heads you will just go into the 1 cat via a 'y' pipe and then out to the muffler. I have had bad experiences with high flows and wont run them anymore. Last ones were berks and since they usually dont use ceramic they will not last as long. Mine broke apart and clogged one side of the exhaust.... Long story short, it can be done but if there isnt a kit from say gibson then you will need to fab ot your self. As far as emissions goes, i am running straight pipes now on my Z and it just passed the state inspections with emissions testing. You will also probably need a tune or reprogram on the trucks computer so it knows what to do with only one set of o2 sensors. 2 cents.
