You can have a shop weld it into a pipe... and to BYPASS the engine codes for reading bad O2 sensor since there will be no cat.. add a fowler...............

Well they can't give you a fine, well at least not my state, and I tried the foulers and the tip of my o2 sensor is to big.

The fact is I am all for buying a cat.. BUT if that is not an option for them why not offer advice on other ways? In my state when don't get fined either. As long as it's not excessive exhaust or too loud my state doesn't even inspect. I did have a car from Cali that had some environmental "mods".. And Dlschneider.. I don't know what to say about that other than try to find larger foulers. Glad someone has tried this (no, not because I hate the environment).. I was beginning to feel crazy.

sure, you can use fowlers in states that won't fine you for not having a cat. But you're still a ****ing ******* for ****ing up everyone's air.

I don't think protesting a cat is going to get you far.. talk to your legislature about stricter environmental laws.. maybe ride a bike?
