dead cats

[Ed Kellock]

A good point Mike. Not every state requires emissions tests, though some
muffler shops are leary of doing a cat-delete modification. 

Also, I have a couple of OEM 95 S6 cats that are used but in good condition.
Not sure if they'd fit but they  could potentially be cut and adapted to the
V8. I've posted them for sale a couple of times but for various reasons I
still have them.

Question - on a 1990 car, do we even NEED the catalytic converters? These
things are way out of 
warranty, and greatly exceed the federally mandated 5 year/50,000 mile
"gotta meet emissions" rules.

If your state doesn't do an emissions test, you'd be legal with plain old
exhaust tubing as a 
replacement, with a bung welded on for the oxygen sensor.

There are so few 1990 V8Qs still running around that if every one of them
removed the cats, it 
wouldn't make a measurable difference in air quality. (I know, I know, no
single raindrop thinks it 
is responsible for the deluge.)

Please withhold my name by request, I have to go pull the wings off kittens
or something equally 
politically incorrect, and prefer not to be disturbed.

Best Regards

I wasn't here, this conversation never took place.
