More of a concern when running a converter, cause if it get plug, you could burn your car to the ground.... Seen it hundreds of times...... oK 3 times, but it could happen again...

Haha, no, nothing would be hurt by getting rid of the cats, but if you have air care or anything like that where you live, good luck passing it...

That thing works great!

When my exhaust exploded, from clogged cats at 90mph it was the only thing holding the exhaust on at that point, so it was like the chain to an anchor - made cool sparks, slowed me down, and then allowed me to kick the old exhaust out and off the highway.

Oh, and it never lit up once....
