Chad -

What part of GA ?

I am in the Metro Atlanta area and it is a big no-no to do anything that
effects any emmisions equipment .

Beyond that , it is a violation of FEDERAL law to remove the cat. on ANY
vehicle that came with one from the factory , which , except for deisels
started about 1975 .

You can replace it with an aftermarket high-flow unit , but legally , you
can only do that after 50k miles , or if the original is damaged .

Besides , unless you are good with wiring , the truck will not run right
without it .

PEACE
