    No, it won't. It'll work on his car just fine. Those are only on the '01+ cars that require the cat to be there because of the fueling tables in the PCM. There are always gains from getting rid of a converter...question is...is it worth the ticket if your caught without one?

    Because it also makes the car sound tons better...and some people want all the restrictions gone in the exhaust system to get every bit of power possible. Plus, they are WAY cheaper.

    Safe yes...it won't do anything but trip a SES light for low efficiency on the rear catalyst.

    If it was an '01+ car however...it would make your fuel trims go all crazy.

    I nuked the cat on both the '01 and the '02, and waited to see how long before they tripped a SES light before turning off reporting via HP Tuners... The '02 went 2+ months, and after a pully swap and headers I had to retune obviously, so I turned it off... The '01 set the code in less than 3 miles after swapping to a catless DP. Beats the hell outta me.

    you know i recently put my catted zzp dp back on my fuel trims were reducing upto -21% LTFT, STFT. now its around -10%LTFT and enriches in STFT but the car still doesnt pick up like it used to it feels like its bucking and little to no power.

    but at first it ran amazing Catless nice rasp and was quiet top end. Trying to see if ZZP will retune my pcm for proper trims now that everything is back in order and this is on a 06 base model.
