ACV and cats

Can I drive my TII around with no ACV and no airpump for 5 days without cats?

How risky is that? Do I really need to worry about plugging up the cats?

Also can I leave the ACV connected and still have the airpump out? Under those circumstances, do I need to worry about clogging the cats?

Last but not least, where is the best deal for a decent (2.5 downpipe and midpipe that will mount up with the rest of the stock exhaust?

Thanks guys.

It'll be fine. The clogging (from no air injection) takes months, not days.

how can you plug cats, "without cats"

if you ment with cats. not a problem. I've been running a cat with no air pump / acv for months. it'll last longer that way... not plug up.
