On the N* can you replace the catalyst with straight pipe without a problem. Or is there sensors along the way. My cat is bad but I don't want to replace it.

Would any problems occure 01STS 09-29-04, 10:42 PM You shouldn't have a problem if you have a 95 or older car. 96 and up cars will trip a check engine code when the cat is removed (rear o2 sees the same voltage as the primary o2). eldorado1 09-29-04, 11:38 PM Don't they have post-cat o2 sensors? I don't know off the top of my head. Why not just replace them? They're only like $30 a piece... btw - replacing them with pipe will make your car louder.

Not really Illegal here, we don't even ever have emission tests. Canada Calgary. So replacing it with pipe is no problem 94 STS kcnewell 10-01-04, 12:41 PM It shouldn't cause a problem replacing the cat with a test pipe on a 94. Only the 96 and later engines had the OBD2 system that has pre- and post-cat O2 sensors that test the cat efficiency. Eliminating the cat on a 96 or later will cause a persistent code to set but not on a 94. | |
