    I don't think u need a "reflash" for running catless... Depending on ur year u might need a o2 sim.

    '97-'00 cars can run a sim...any '01+ needs the code shut off through the PCM.

    Also, that 180* is worthless without a tune anyways...because the factory fan turn on points are still the same...so, keep the stocker or buy a canned PCM, like one from 3800performance.com

    DHP PCM is the best mail order PCM, ever.

    My 03 ran without a cat and with stock PCM for a few thousand miles, no problem. No CEL or poor MPG.

    I used those spark plug non-foulers to space the rear O2.
