I'm not poo-pooing your thoughts, just asking for some proof of them. If you have no proof and are just saying stuff because you feel like it, it's no sweat, but don't expect others not to ask you for sources. Hell, if ya don't care, then why even respond in the first place?

I can assure you it will heat up JUST fine sitting straight after a raceheader that in only a month is now fully blued.... it gets and stays hot, much hotter than the previous.

It's not
that it gets hot, all working cats will heat up. The emissions depend on how quickly it gets to operating temperature compare to a functional stock setup.

Proven cleaner by what? I haven't seen any comprehensive emissions testing data for your vehicle, and until you had that I can't see how you could make any reasonable statements about whether or not it actually is cleaner in your case. Granted, you can go w/ the "It's cleaner cuz I said so." line, but that ain't reasonable IMO.
Besides, there's no reason to get your panties in a bunch when someone has a statement about something you're doing. If it's dirtier to run a bigger cat, it's dirtier. If it's cleaner it's cleaner. Like I said before, if you don't care about it *being clean why are you even bothering to post back saying you don't care, just don't post.
*Aside from getting tagged by the CHP and their laser emissions doohickeys.
