Default Cutting the cat
Are there any cons to cutting the cat off besides having a code thrown and having it smell a little weird? Those I don't mind.

Depends on your state and if they have emission law.

Florida used to have emissions you had to pass to register your tag....

Also, if you go to trade or sell your truck, they will likely check for the cat....its a huge fine to them for taking a vehicle in without a cat......

Alot of people will take them down, bore and hollow them out and put them back on to appear that they are still there, which "technically" it is, but its non functional!

Just my .02

Theres no emission laws here and no inspections which is nice! And I'm not worried about the dealership because if I ever sell it, I'll just sell it outright. Plus I can sell the cat to a metal place in Okc for around a $100...

Could I just go to a parts store that has a code reader and set codes not to go off with that?

Alright I'm probably just going to leave it on because I've just heard abunch of negatives on it. Hopefully the new glass pack will be enough, which it should be.
