help on an exhaust!!?!?!?!?
ok i was wanting to do an exhaust.. i was worried about the 2 o2 sensors... i was wandering if i take the cat out would it make it run better or do i need it in... i was wanting to take the cat out and put a 2 1/2 pipe frome the header flange to a magflow muffler then over the axle to a stainless tip.... any help would be appreciated.....

If you lose the cat and just put bungs in for the O2 sensors, you'll have a permanent CEL, which will mean it'll be permanently in "limp home mode" and fuel economy will suck. I highly doubt it will run any better. A replacement cat from magnaflow is only like $100. Keep it and do it the right way...

IF you use it for off-road purposes only, vatozone has a cat-delete pipe with flange.
Otherwise, confirm your cat is good/bad, replace if necessary. Performance-curve.com has a magnaflow cat back for 100$

Better performance=more noise. Generally a free flowing exhaust doesn't really give fuel economy gains unless there is something pretty seriously wrong with the system currently on there.
