When we switched away from lead gas, this was the compromise. Some health experts think it was a bad choice... hard to say if we ended up with the lesser of two evils.

Most people who consider disabling their cats for minor perf gains are putting peoples health at risk. Unfortunately they aren't riding behind themselves sucking up the cancer causing emissions.

If you do disable your cat, be a decent person, and sit yourself down behind your running truck for at least 30 minutes a day.

That way the problem might solve itself over time.

You may not like what he said, but he is correct. On my max, when I removed the restrictive Y-pipe with the pre-cats, I replaced my stock cat with a less restrictive, but better filtering main cat. Yes, I did it because I care about the environment. Maybe you care, maybe you don't, but it doesn't mean that the guy is wrong. Maybe do a little research into why they are their... I'm sure that nissan didn't toss them on because the engineers thought they looked cool.
