Not my forum, but I'd think it's ok since he may be removing a componnet that may not be required because of the fuel being used.
Could help others here that are considering the same conversion.

I dont think he ment that he was going to illegaly remove the cat, i think he was just asking if he needed one with the lpg conversion.....
I would reccomend that he check with someone local to him, most of us wouldnt know being in the us or canada

Hi All I didn’t mean to start a debate on the legality of removing a CAT, as SqueakyT10 points out I’m in the UK so the law will be different to Canada and the US.

I cant see why you dont need a cat, the purpose is the same regardless of what type of fuel your using. Its meant to fully burn semi-combusted fuel in the exhaust.

Still required to have the federally mandated emissions equipment on the vehicle as long as you're still using a spark ignited combustion engine.

he is international though.....
grahame....do you have to take any vehicle their through an emissions program?

Someone needs to accurately prove that its not against Federal law in the UK to remove emissions equipment before this thread goes much further.

EMISSIONS WITHOUT CAT
I own a Honda CRX Civic Del Sol 1992 K reg and I am having a stainless steel exhaust built and fitted. The fitter has said to me because the car is a 1992 model and the law that governs the catalytic converters for the MOT came into effect in 1993, the car does not fall into this law, and I could remove the cat and it would still pass the MOT. Is he correct or will it fail the emissions Test. Thanks, Ben.
Your fitter is not quite correct. The MOT regulations say nothing about a vehicle having a catalytic converter. They merely set emission levels which have to be achieved if the vehicle is first used after a specific year. Certainly some cars with every efficient engines could achieve the required emission levels without a catalytic converter. However in your case, if your vehicle's year is before the break year, then should the cat be removed, in all probabilty it should not affect the MOT. - MOTT
