God of the
So my question is plain and simple: what would come of cutting the cats off a car to improve exhaust flow (along with new headers, H-pipe, cherry bomb mufflers, etc...)? I know this would take environmentally friendly to a whole new low, but what could happen to the engine? Thanks in advance!
What about on more modern cars? Wouldn't not having cats mess with the computer control system? The O2 sensors would be off the charts.
Answer
Depending on the year of your car, your check engine light will come on...if you don't fool it.
**additional info** The check engine light will come on with 1996 and newer vehicles (some before). There is a O2 sensor before and after the catalysts to measure the efficiency of the emissions device. If you remove it, it will think its not working properly and turn the light on.

I'm located in Houston, TX and i have a 1990 Toyota Corolla that needs an inspection. It was just given to me by my aunt, title and all. How much should I expect the inspection to run? The car is also still insured until June.
TIA
