Let me reword my last thread that got locked...my cat clogged up on me a few months ago, and having school the next day and no money, i was in a pinch and just had to straight pipe it...however this increased my fuel economy...will putting a new, aftermarket cat on increase my mpg's?

As said in your last thread...if it was clogged..now it has more flow therefore will give you better gas milage. Putting a new cat on there after removing the clogged one would have also increased your mpg also.

Look at mudfrog, a vendor on the site. He sells a VERY good high flow cat that is legal.

Yes it will help.

Under the rules of your last thread closure, speeding, underage drinking, selling a used cat to another member, etc etc should all be against the rules.

Oh i understand that, i just didnt get the whole taking the cat off was "illegal" until i did go back and read the rules, i reckon that's just something to be left alone

alright sounds good to me...i'll probably be doing all this after i get my new front bumper back from my friend who's doing a little modding to it...but after that gets back, bedlined, and mounted, i'll get some o2 sensors and a high flow cat from mudfrog

hellllll yes, with and without muffler...if you've seen videos on youtube, they do it absolutely no justice...im of course running it with a muffler right now, pending buying a highflow cat from mudfrog most likely

had the same problem, replaced mine with a stainless steel magnaflow. sounds so much better and the mpgs are alittle better, nothing too crazy though.
