So if leave it out, you have NO cat at all?

If it were me, I'd get one, give a little performance for some environmental peace of mind.

for now i'm going to leave the system catless. too poor to afford a decent high flow cat. probably get a cheap resonator welded into the midpipe next week to keep the noise down. i guess i'll find out how loud my car really is on saturday.

well i got one installed because it is against the law not to have one. Also i needed to change my insurance so i needed to get the car inspected again, so i got one.

better check the lawbook again. there is no law that says you have to have a cat on in alberta.

Flames out the tail pipe:

Run rich and put a spark plug on a switch about 5" back from the end of the pipe. You cant use a cat as it will burn up any extra gas. Anyways, you gotta give the spark plug some major power, your choice how, but then all you do is start up you car, and flick the switch for a 3 to 4 foot flame of death.

Just so you know, i dont condone this, so attempt at you own risk.

i don't think that would go over to well jeff. you *might* just burn the hell outta yourself and mabye your own car (depending on how big of a pos your car is!) hehe
but you can buy kits that actually have flamethrowers, like in gone in 60 seconds...
