Catalytic converter

[TEXSIX]

As long as you are in Houston, and you don't need the cat, why not just have a pipe made?

You just admitted to a violation of federal law.

I don't care, but you probably shouldn't brag about crimes.

Even if your car is smog exempt, tampering with the cat is illegal.

Yes, I agree the best idea is to keep a catalytic converter attached to a gasoline powered engine. I don’t like raw unburned hydrocarbons polluting the atomosphere because I would like future relatives of mine who are not even born yet to have a clean environment to raise a family in and grow old

Now onto why I did it. I bought a new performance cat and a gasket from www.specialtauto.com with the intention of installing them on my D. When I removed the muffler and then the cat I realized my engine had been running rich for so long it had partially melted the honeycomb matrix inside the cat and that it was causing a blockage. I didn’t want to install a brand new performance cat on a engine that was running rich so I just smashed the innards of my original cat dumped out the innards into a plastic bag and put the cat back onto the car with a brand new gasket. I still have the innards of the cat converter and I haven’t decided who to give it to.

I would like to put one of the performance exhaust systems with cats onto my D but I’m not too excited about the noise level from these new systems. Just don’t know what I’m going to do in the future so at the moment I’m still driving around with a hollowed out cat.

You realize that's the onion, right?

[dvonk]

yes, it's satirical because of the way some people act compared to what they say.

that said, i dont like kids and wont ever have any. i dont expect everyone to have the same opinion, its just mine.

edit: this is pretty far off topic, maybe the admins should move this tangent to somewhere more appropriate.
