Get standalone and get your car tuned so it's not running so pig rich. What mods do you have to your car that taking out the catylitic converter is going to make a dick's worth of difference?

Why the hostility? I told you how to solve your problem and I asked you a follow up question. If you want me to gut you like a fish, keep up the bad attitude and I'll show you how much of a dick I can be.
And - another opinion of mine - you should put some kind of OEM catylitic converter back on, both for the gas mileage benefits, the longevity of your oxygen sensor(s), the polution factor and the simple fact that, given your setup, it's probably only giving you 1hp at the wheels, a lot of noise, and a beautiful fart smell.

Putting a high flow cat does make a difference if your running a good header, larger piping (2.25+), and have a high flow exhuast. But putting one in shouldn't make your bumper black. I threw mine on a month ago (it was free) and my bumper isn't black. Sound like your running rich as **** and fixing that would be a better hp upgrade then the high flow cat.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, huh?
Now, is this "cat" a straight pipe with a shell or an actual catylitic converter with a ceramic honecomb that gets rid of unspent fumes?
