Re: [DML] catalytic converter removal

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

It may give you better performance, but it is not necessarily guaranteed.
Cleaning out the cat and using a free flow muffler usually increase peak
horsepower, but depending on the setup, can adversely affect torque
because of the lack of "back pressure". 

I don't think it is legal to remove your cat in any state. Just because
they don't test for it doesn't make it legal.

In Florida, there are no emissions or safety inspections. Does this mean
I can legally run a 10,000HP jet engine in my car? no.
