2nd cat...? This car has two cats...? I thought it only had one like most cars... One cat, two O2 sensors...
Can someone expand on this...? Why two cats?

Yeah...and that shop could get shut down in .0103 seconds if they got caught. It is a criminal offense to remove emissions items like the Cat. when you are a repair/retail facility.
the car has a cat in the downpipe with an o2 before and after it. The car also has another cat in the midpipe....why is it there? I think its for CA emissions.
Dude my 98 Mustang GT had 6 cats!! Imagine the improvement taking all of them off... (2thumbs)
Yup, for the ULEV, it think that's the acronym somewhere on my window sticker.... Ultra Low Emission Vehicle...(am I missing a letter?) lol Anyways, I noticed both cats when I installed my MS CBE system. Needless to say, I'm going to go with the Corksport DP w/hi-flow cat since, from my understanding, it'll delete one CAT, and provide me with a hi-flow cat replacement. $600+ is steep for a pipe, but we've all heard it. "You've got to pay to play." Yay to California emission laws!!! (yupnope) (bang)

As long as the shop removing the cat states "offroad use only" on the receipt, they are not liable....
I spent $60 at a local muffler shop to get this removed... and a section of 3" tubing welded in it's place. Only downside is you can't just unbolt it to go back to stock... it will cost another $60... so if you care about going back to stock easily, the midpipe is the way to go!

Perhaps it is state-dependent then, because NV isn't so kind.
I think ULEV stands for Ulta Low Emissions Vehicle...not "light"
You may be right! lol (lol)
(iagree) But what are you talking about, it DOES say Low... lolrjs_speed3

sound clips??? vid clips??? c'mon man, quit holding out on us...
Haha, yeah suppose i owe it to you guys. Ill see what i can do, it was a b**** to install but so worth it. Anyone else smell kinda a burning smell when they put theirs in? I figure its the new gaskets heating up and what not because i cleared all the wires. I think i need to get some heat wrap too for the DP. Ill ask around and see what i can come up with camera wise because you guys DO NOT want a video from my camera phone. I gotta short shift first because its just tire spin and then in second around 4500 the tires break lose again and spin until i shift. Third chirps harder and has a real HOLY HELL kinda feel to it. Very choice. Cant wait for my CAI to show up. Its gonna be insane.

congrats on your new mod!! i am sooo jealous.... (really i am..)
Thanks brother. You gotta get on that, i have NEVER heard an import sound like this. Its like a supra and a 69 charger had a baby. Not ricey, and not quite muscley but a tasty in between. I have to go find a tunnel tomorrow LOL! The VTA BOV makes it perfect. Im wasting so much gas because i dont wanna down shift! Throw a stiff rear engine mount in the mix to give just the right amount of cockpit vibration and you feel like you are sitting on a powder keg.
