What kind of tune are you using to remove the cat?

actually i am not going to do anything right away. I will run the car for a few hundred miles and see how it runs w/ a AEM AFR gauge. then if it is running lean which it probably will i will get a few lb per hour injectors higher. and go from there. i did this on my sunfire that i unfortunatly put into a ditch and the thing ended up running like a raped ape.

yea do it im interested to hear how it works out i think you will be abel to feel a nice throttle respnse improvement after removing it...and as far as the eimissions shit screw that! who the hell cares they cant even agree where global warming is coming from i mean besides the fact that this was the coldest wettest winter weve had in years and here in louisiana where i live it was a record low temp for this time of the year, i dont think it really matters! my motto is drill a hole in a polar bears skull if thats what it takes to get gas back down to .98$ again lol

You guys want a free car removal? Here's how you do it take the cat off the car and get a chisel and hammer the catalyst out. Put on a respirator (seriously don't skip that part) and get to work. It's going to take a while but if you work at it you can remove all the catalyst and bolt up the cat for a totally stock look. Then just use hp tuner or something along those lines to turn the rear 02 off. Say hello to better fuel economy and 7-10 more horsepower.
