Commutes are crappy enough without having to smell your crappy exhaust forcing me to roll my windows up cause you want to be cheap. Sorry but there is no excuse to not have them. You can get cats welded in for pretty cheap and SGT also has them for like 650 in a brand new section 1.

I said daily drive as an exaggeration. I drive my car maybe twice a week. I was just curious on the possibility that I decide to. I'm planning on getting euro cats so hopefully that will be "quality" enough

Not trying to steal your thread, but it is related. Is there still an increase in power when switching from oe headers to catless headers with a catted section 1?

Yes. The us spec hp numbers vs euro spec hp number is the best example.

Please run cats.

On second thought going catless will probably bring the environment to it's knees causing the ice caps to instantly melt and flood humanity off the face of the earth within hours of starting your car so you better just leave the stock headers on...

OP you'll be fine short term. It is stinky as hell though (it'll make your eyes water as well) but that'll motivate you to get some cats on there asap.

No doubt. That’s the case in many States. My point is that you guys should absolutely be using cats. The ambient air certain parts of California is god awful

man Cali sucks in terms of smog, they actually really hook up shit in the end of your exhaust..

In Nevada they just plug in to your OBD2 and that's it, as long as sensors are "active" they don't care. So if you're running simulators or bifoulers you're good.

They still stick the probe in here in TX if you have an obd1 car that isn't at the 25yr mark. It's a small percentage of cars at this point I'd imagine

CA smog has been using OBD2 for a few years already for model newer than 2000.
