Very funny. lol.

That wouldn't work here in So. Cal.

The Air Quality Management Disctrict folks would be all over you.

With the pipes in "test mode configuration", is the exhaust note the same?

Does it affect the functioning of the O2 sensor in any way?

Shoot, if you don't need a cat where you live, then why even have one? All it does is restrict exhaust and lower hp...

Combined city / highway mpg of 22 mpg is pretty good. I'm actually averaging just under 22 mpg in my mixed driving.
