No cat 700 1988

In Sweden is it not legal to remove the cat if the car got one.

But.... I did it anyway. My car goes better,faster and stronger

but i wonder:

Do i have to change Os Sensor? or? Is it any differance between the Os Sensors for car with or whitout cat?

Re: No cat 700 1988

No cat won't hurt the 02 sensor...it's ahead of the cat anyway.

If you remove the sensor the ecu defaults to a rich setting during cruise or idle...mileage suffers. So don't do it.

02 sensor is cut out at wot, anyway.

Why don't you remove your mudflaps since you're in Sweden? That's also illegal. That way you can throw stones at anyone following you as well as fart in their face with unburned hydrocarbons.
