I'm with tooslogtu. Screw the cat and just put a test pipe there. Unless there are emissions where you live. I love Florida. I don't even have a presilencer Hahaha.

Precat is North America's way of screwing with us. You dont need it. The DP into the cat will be fine (as long as you're using a cat made for a rotary) - if you have visual inspection only, gut the cat and leave the shell - otherwise even with the downpipe going just to the main cat, you may have a tough time passing the sniffer.



Generally I keep a stocker exhaust around when I can to swap out for that once a year visual inspection. Its a pain, but its worth it...
