[DML] Re: Performance Exhaust and a CAT

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roy,

See my many previous posts on the cat subject.  Illegal or not, removing 
the catalytic converter provides minimal performance gains while 
increasing emissions.  We don't think too much about it, since the 
pollution is "invisible", but it's no different from flushing your used 
oil down the toilet, or leaving old batteries by the side of the road.

My DeLorean has a performance-exhaust, two cats, and 200HP.  It is not 
necessary to sacrifice the environment for additional power.
