Valid points.

Population growth is as much of a problem or more than the pollution I put out from my catless midpipe.

One is just easier to get conceptualize than the other.

Maybe we should restrict the number of children allowed within a certain population density.

Anyways it's all a thought exercise.

If I registered my car 20 minutes north of my current location I the Drive Clean test wouldn't apply.
The regulation changes the further you are from a large population density. AKA Toronto or Ottawa

 

Good points.

 

Hows this for a double negative, in Connecticut if you own a car more than 25 years old you are exempt from emissions testing

 

Yes but that's only like 23 people.

 

Same here in Ontario. They label them "Classic" cars.


This made me LOL

 

Been running on a gutted cat for bout a week while waiting for my replacement midpipe to be shipped. Smells like **** and CEL WILL come on. Havent really had an issued, at least not yet for the week

 

do it. FLAME ON!

 

I was talking to a tech that specializes on Rotaries and he mentioned that one car that came in to their shop had their engine messed up because of him going catless. According to him. When u go catless and u stay on stock everything, the engine has to Compensate for the less restrictions of no cat making the engine stress more and causing problems since everything is stock and made to run with the pressure of a cat. Another tech i talked to today said otherwise. So who should i believe

 

Cat delete doesn't hurt anything.
Many of us have been catless for years.
Never heard of anyone claiming it causes engine failure, that's BS.

 

thanks. Was wondering because im going catless until i can afford a new cat since mine just died Last week. Heard they cost over 1,000

 

OEMs are over $2k now.
I have the BHR resonated midpipe, not cheap, but durable and no raspiness.
Worth every penny.

 

i heard BHR has the OME CATs for sale but i cannot seem to find them on their site. I wanted to fins out if they really do have CATs for sale because i heard 3rd party CATs have a shorter lifespan

 

just gut your stock one it's broken anyway.....
i wouldn't believe anything from those 'techs' of yours.........

 

That doesn't sound right.

Cats don't add that much restriction anyways. The reason why people remove them is that RX-8 ones can plug up quickly, especially if you don't keep the ignition system in check.

If you don't have to worry about inspection and can live with the smell, yeah, you can go catless.

 

Took mine off. Couldn't stand the smell and the fumes. The sound was amazing running it with the full RB catback exhaust and the flames were a bonus. BTW PM me if you're interested in buying mine, just used it for one summer.
