He's right, They'll be fine. If anything, the less cat you have, the less total heat you'll have inside that section of exhaust.

You should be able to, if you're tuned right.

( I know I did )

Red, I know this sounds totally stupid
but.

I want you to measure your precats for me while you're gutting them. I am making a precat replacement pipe that allows usage of the stock main cat, and I want as much information as I can get without removing mine. Seeing as you have a set that are already out, perhaps you could assist me?
Thanks!
