Cat Delete, Now have White Smoke
Ok, so the other day i took my cat out and threw in a test pipe, and of course, few mins after driving off my CEL came on as expected. My freind told me when he was driving behind me that after i cracked VTEC there was a faint white smoke coming from my exhaust. could the CEL be throwing in to much Fuel? would i be better off runnin the Cat? plz help

even if it doesn't have anything to do with it, put it back on....you lose power because of lost backpressure. also makes it sound better and not like a piece of ****!! lol

im not sure if its true.. but ive always heard and assumned that of course u wuld get smoke out of ur tailpipe since the cat is removed. im not sure if u guys notice but if u go to the tracks and see majority of the cars there. tehy all have smoke out the back and dnt have cats. never heard of it being bad or good for ur car.. jus that its normal for it to smoke after removal of cats.
