Re: Straight pipe instead of new CAT

aftermarket high flow cats start around $50. Assuming its a replaceable type cat, I can't say there's a good reason not to just replace it.

btw, if you do gut the cat (or replace it with a straight pipe) the check engine light will come on and stay on.

And also: badly burned out cat like you discribe, usually points towards a long term runability issue, such as misfires
