Stupid question?
I've talked to guys (who wish to remain anonymous) that have removed their catalytic converter and gotten huge gains in FE. I'm told this is illegal (which I figured it would be) but is easy to get away with in areas where there are no emissions tests to pass. None of the mechanics/technicians I work with are willing to do this, so I'm assuming it's very illegal. What are the pro's and cons to something like this? How big are the fines? How come I've never heard of this before? Cripes, I'm 40, I didn't think I was that uninformed.
