taking cats off

[BTP325ic]

i drive a 84 eta and i have been told that taking the cat and resonator off would cause problems for my car is this true?

[deutschman]

i don't see why it would... i think taking the o2 censor off might cause problems though.
but i might be wrong.

It will make it louder and smell like fuel.

why do you want to do this? it's not going to make a big difference. the exhaust isn't restricting anything on an eta..

yeah idk a buddy of mine was telling me it would fuck up my engine and i was like no i think thats if you take off the o2 sensor.i am new to e30s and its my first but not last so i am kinda new to the car and what not.I am not really new to the the motor only because my dad had a e28 528e and i used to drive that and work on it.

its not going to fuck your motor up! Its just going to be loud, like race car loud, and you might get a ticket for that. but it wont do anything bad to your motor, just leave your
o2 on sensor on. tell your bud to stop sniffing glue.

sniffing glue and eating paint chips. Its the weekend!
