Kill The Kat
 

Hi people,
I've been thinking of removing the catalytic converter in my 200TE.
What could be the effects on the performance of the car?
power increase/decrease
fuel mileage increase/decrease
(not much of a restriction on the environmental front)

thankz
zee:confused:

I did this once on an early 80's Dodge V-8. Acceleration from a stand-still suffered.

Pulling the CAT alters back-pressure and that in turns affects things farther upstream. My 2 cents.

yep I would leave the kitty alone I dont think that there is anything to gain by removeing it .:rolleyes:

putting a new one on can do wonders for an engine,taking one off can cause problems as many engine functions work in conjunction with the back pressure and heat a converter creates.....
