Well this is what I've been wondering all along. As long as the O2
sensor
and cat are in place and functioning, who's going to notice? The
dealer,
maybe.
So what's the hurdle? Getting a shop to touch it? Maybe if I take it
off myself and get someone to "fab" a replacement?
The only other question I have is can the cat handle the extra flow?
Maybe
that's why the primaries are so small to begin with.....
