Would it mess up my o2 sensor too much to remove my cat until the new cat ships in from Amazon. It is clogged up and is causing rough idle and kick back. It should only be a few more days till it ships in.

On road, the NP242 is better because it gives you the option of full time 4WD. Off road, people like the NP231 because it has far more aftermarket support for upgradability and strength.

Rules say we don't talk about removal of cats here. If it's just gonna be a couple days, I say wait unless it's so bad that your Jeep doesn't run. That'll also save you the trouble of getting under it twice.

I know what rules sat but ya its really bad. I am afraid I am going get into an accident because it will lurch forward so fast and so suddenly. That why I just don't want it on there for one second longer than I have to. I ordered a magnaflow high flow cat and was just going to put $5 straight pipe in until that arrives.

I can't condone it, but I understand what you're saying. The best advice I can give in line with the rules is to back off when you're driving behind people in case something happens, and shift to neutral at red lights/long stops so it doesn't lurch.

By the way, with the 1000lb doors off it even feels a bit quicker.

Well on the back of the door jamb switch there are 3 wires on the drivers door and 2 on the passenger. The 3 wires are ground, chime and light. You should make them do this:

Yea I know, but it's just a paper gasket, did you put sealer on it or just put it on dry?
