Gutting Cat

[Slamed89Accord]

Is it possible to gut the cat while its on the car?

Dude,

I don't understand why you would want to do this?
Sorry, I don't have an answer for this question.
I'd personally drop the cat and replace it w/ a piece of test pipe.

NO butif you want better flow just get a highflow one lets not all send shitty gasses up in the air. Our asses will do it for us.

i ahve also been told by more than a few people who drive turbo cars, that say a test pipe might be overkill flow... we will lose any backpressure we might have had with an aftermarket exhaust, and lose all our low end torque. also i have heard that high flow cats provide very desirable results...

so i would reccomend either a high flow cat (better but ++$$$) or gutting your stock cat (bad for us, good for car )

then again i havent done anything with my cat, so i cant speak from experience...

A high flow Catco cat is only $59 or so from Summit. Relacing it is much better than gutting it for the environment, for an N/A car and for you by not having to handle the toxic chemicals inside. Please lets not give the tree huggers any more ammunition against us.

Sure!!! Remove your oxygen sensor, fill the hole with gasoline and put the sensor back on. Retard your ignition by about 30 degrees, start the car and floor it.

I don't take responsibility if you do this.
