It's kinda rediculous that they would use something like that... but I guess I can understand the need for it.

Like I said earlier, I don't endorse removal of the catalytic converter if you can get away with not doing it... in my case, I couldn't afford a replacement, and my car wasn't running properly with it, so as a diagnostic measure, it was required to remove. I don't drive that much since then, due again to lack of money, but if I had the cash, I'd much rather spend it on tuning the car so I didn't need the cat to pass emissions testing.

(I can get away with a look-alike b/c I"m OBD-0.) I'd still like to see exactly what my tail-pipe readings are though... too bad I'm gonna end up junking the car before I get a chance to find out.
