Question So what happens if...............

So what happens if I plug up that stupid pipe on the side of the cat, the one that keeps breaking off. or put a "test pipe" in place of the cat . We have no inspection here. Will it make any problems if it is plugged? it is almost imposible to fix, last time I stuck a piece of 1/4 in pipe in and epoxied the whole thing.

If you are talking about the pipe that goes from the intake manifold to the cat, unbolt it at the manifold and fab up a block off plate from sheet metal. Then pull that bastard cat out and get a straight pipe. You will be happy.
