that was a hot topic here in town this past year. I think the total number of car were like 50 or so. all the cats unbolted, or cut off. this hapned witin a few weeks. that is the first mod I do to a car..take the Cat off. I was half tempted to just set it ontop of a car that way they haul it away. I know they are worth big money..but I dont care. I think I have 2 or 3 still in my garage somewhere.
