i was thinking about getting rid of my cats and i heard of MIL eliminators but i also heard that 2ohm restistors is cheaper and does the same thing, so i dont get a check engine light.
where would i find 2 ohm restistors at? and how do i go about instaling it?
Also will it do any harm to my truck by removing the cats?

 

Keep your cats and save the environment. Not to mention staying legal.

 

It has been proven that our cats flow very well, and removing them only picks up a few HP at the very top of the RPM range. It is a violation of federal emission laws to remove them. You will see a bigger increase in performance with a cat back system. IMHO, the best setup would be a dual exhaust system with x-pipe with a single high flow cat on each side. Check your local laws before you make any changes.

 

i have true duals right now with a X pipe and 2 flowmaster super 40 mufflers and 3.5 inch tips. it sounds good but i want it louder. not really looking to get much more power just sound!

 

If you want more sound, taking the cats out won't do it. Take out your mufflers and go straight pipes, that will get you more sound.

To answer your question, you should be able to get 2 ohm resistors at Radio Shack. As to where you'd install it.....I'd assume it would be installed across the terminals in the connector for the O2 sensor, but I don't know which terminals.

As to the harm done.....it shouldn't harm your truck to remove the cats, though you'll likely lose some low-end torque.

Personally.....I'd either invest in a high-flow set of cats, or simply remove the mufflers.

 

Keep the cats not worth it, of course just my .02
