[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 7900, member: 2"] You can pretty much copy and paste that list to Saskatchewan as well...except #3. I have a few things going on here. 1. I cut the cat out of my truck and had a pipe put in because the cat was 20 years old and I figured it was doing more harm than good. I concluded this by figuring that the catalyst material had stopped doing it's job years ago and was now causing a restriction in my exhaust that caused me to burn more fuel which caused more pollution. I don't feel bad running my old car which is probably one of the worst polluters on the road. I can actually smell raw fuel when it runs and kind of like it. However, I think it may have only driven 300 miles this year and 600 miles last year, so it's not like it really matters that much. If I were to put headers in my Corvette, I would try to put in high flow cats as well to retain the cars emission levels. I really like that it's cleaner than any of my other vehicles AND faster than any of my other vehicles AND gets at least twice the fuel mileage...of any other vehicle I own. It is an awesome car. What others do to their cars is what others do and that is fine. I'll help out the enviro where I can and then make an exception to the rule in other areas. [/QUOTE]
