Hey Guys

I have a 95 gt 5 speed and I'm looking to remove the cats and still keep the stock cat back. Can I just buy a off road that will work or just knock out the guts of the stock cats. I think this will free up some HP and also give a better sound has anyone done this? will this set a check engin lite?

Thanks.

 

Mids are not too expensive. I suggest getting a new h-pipe.

 

it'll make it sounds alot better but maybe .5 hp at the most lol

 

I don't think the cats are hooked up to the computer in any way, so you should be safe that way.

 

you will get a code from removing the cats.

 

Is there any way to remove the cat's and keep the light from comming on?

 

I would like to know that also im considering that as a cheaper mod over the x pipe. i heard one without the cats (2 outta 4) and it has flows on it as well..sounded WICKED!!!

 

Take the CEL bulb outta the dash.

 

To turn the CEL off you will either need to get a tune, or mils. It's not too big a deal.

 

MIL's are alot though (to me anyways) at americanmuscle they're $64


one more post!!!!!

 

94-95 models are OBD-1 systems and don't need mil eliminators because the O2 sensors are in front of the cats and there are no O2 sensors behind the cats, the rear sensors are why the 96-present cars need mil eliminators ,and the check engine light will not come on as long and the small pipe that comes off the pipe is hooked back up to the smog pump. 96-present models are OBD-2 systems and require mil-eliminators or a tune to keep the check engine light from coming on. My check engine light stays on only because every bit of the smog equipment (smog pump, carbon canister, and all the lines and hoses )is thrown in the woods behind the house

 

welp, there goes the Ozone
