[Shotimes] Gas Miliage - FALLOWUP!!!

[Paul L Fisher]

You need the O2 sensors but if you get rid of the cats, your low-end will go
away. You'd be lucky to beat my 90 HP Jetta TDI off the line.

so...if my cats are clogged, could i just cut them off?....since there are
no emmissions tests in my area, i dont see a problem with it, if it will
work....where would i have to cut them if i am going to strait pipe the rest
of the car till the mufflers, which i am going to get some turbo
mufflers?....could i cut right at the front where it comes down out of the
engine, or do i need to cut behind the 02 sensors?
