Default Cat's?????

i recently just bashed in my cat crawling over some rock piles so i just ripped it out and stuck in some exhaust pipe and called er good after the long loud ride home
but what i was wondering is is it worth buying a new one or just keep it the way it is and as far as i know i wont be driving in califorina so i aint scared about emissoins
so if i could get so feed back on what others have done with their cats or just what you think if i should get a new one or not and thanks

any ideas

Runnin without a cat is illegal and technically not allowed on the forum. I would just get a free-flow cat.. there is a vendor here on the forum that sells them.

I think the above posts answers this question perfect. No need for any future input.

Bottom line it's a federal law that any vehicle that was equipped from the factory with a cat must use one no matter what state you live in. So get a new cat and you are golden.


I only ask we do not discuss or suggest removing a cat.
