Ha, my bad, I forgot that the number of posts you have directly affects your knowledge of vehicles.

I'm not saying removing the cat is the best thing in the world, but I personally prefer to run without one. I run a cheap turbo muffler, no cat, and it runs great and has lots of torque. It purrs like a kitten at idle and doesn't miss a beat at speed. In other word, it does NOT run like shit. As far as emissions go, I believe keeping your vehicle properly tuned is far more important.

Blaine B. said:Actually I think the backpressure created by the existence of the cat improves performance?
Something I've heard.
Crush said:Is everyone crying about not running cats because it makes the vehicle run bad or because it kills the enviroment?In a way Im hoping its because you are worried about another person's Jeep performance.As for the enviroment......http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming020507.htm.

Had a local shop put on a Twister (interesting design, corkscrew down the middle of a 5" pipe...anyway) - since I bought this jeep a year and a half ago, I replaced the headpipe containing the two mini-cats with a new OEM one and got a new "high flow" main cat - I noticed the BIGGEST difference when I went from the Magnaflow to the Twister....
personally, I don't think removing the cat will do much for performance, but a NEW cat vs one with 130,000 miles on it....yeah, that is noticable...
