Not the prettiest of weld jobs (been a while), but it works.

I suspected my old CATs were shot so I cut them out. One actually looked good, but the other was a rattle can of shattered catalyst. I bolted the remaining Y-pipe pieces back on, cut sections of exhaust pipe to length, and tack welded them on. Then I pulled the pipe again and finished welding the seams.

I also removed my rear resonator which made only a little difference in sound, but the deCAT made a bigger difference and it sounds great. No aftermarket exhaust needed.

With all 4 O2 sensors hooked back up and driving for a few days it hasn't popped any codes yet.

I've noticed no change in power, but I haven't tested it either. I drive slow and smooth usually.

 

Post up a video/audio for us to hear...do it, do it now! ;-)

 

Are the CATS not required in Oregon?

 

Of course they are , but we have no inspections of any kind here in Josephine county.

 

man is that rig ever clean underneath and it is a 97 wow

 

I wish I had the ZERO INSPECTION ZONE.

You deserve it. Did you get a new alternator yet?

 

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the State of Jefferson mentality here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(Pacific_state)
"Politicians and diapers need to be changed often for the same reason"

Alternator is next on the list. Looking forward to it.

 

When you step on it (if you ever do) you'll notice a difference........it's starts out with a growl and eventually ends up sounding like a Kia-sewing machine. BUT, it will kick the crap out of a 4.0L J[H]eep from a dead stop. You'll now be able to de-carbon the piston tops with a good jab to the floor.....just watch out your rearview mirror.....hugh gray cloud, they'll be lucky to see what made the fog.

I did the same thing and either Spike drives like an old man or my motor puts out one more pony than his cuz I had to keep backing off while he was following me to the trails......

 

Yeah, I drive like a old man, I really do.
If I want to go fast I drive the wifes Volvo with a turbo.
