Cats are the question

[IRA51]

YOU WILL SET A MIL WITH OUT THE CAT . YOU CAN ELIMINATE THE CATS AND USE SIMS ,OR EFI LIVE AND DELITE CAT EFISHANCY MONITOR .THIS IS ILLEGAL AND I DON'T RECOMEND IT .

ok, assume that I know parts of what you are saying
MIL? - i assume this is some check engine type light
SIMS - a reprogrammer
I know efi live from my vette
DELITE CAT EFISHANCY MONITOR - huh?

are you speaking about all these from experience or just from what you would think would be?
I am not doubting your knowledge, just asking because i have heard others on the forum talk about having no cats or vettes talking about having no cats and they would get away with tricking the OBD / O2 sensor setup by putting washers in to space the sensor back, or whatever

So I am asking if you know personally or just figuring thats what would be

also, yes i know it is "illegal" if somehow I was caught by a official who would actually know the cats werent there and then inspected them.
(given just about all my cars and race cars were cat less)

MIL = Malfunction Indicator Light ('Check Engine' light)

SIMS = You can purchase a SIM, which is a connector that will 'simulate' the cat still being there.

Catalytic Converter SIM

'Delete Cat Efficiency Monitor' would be a setting in EFILive that would allow you to ignore any signals that arrived due to the cats not being there anymore.

If someone actually moves forward with this and deletes their cats on their H2, please post back results. CELs, performance, MPG, sound, etc...

Thanks.

I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIANCE ,THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE A BUILT ENGINE WITH BIG HP theis isn't much to be gained by eliminateing the cats if they are not cloged . the Magnaflow cats flow pleanty good on a stock engine if your factory cats are cloged and need replaced .
