I think "it will be fine" speaks for itself...

Some things are hard to believe for me... Then again last time I had a CEL I unplugged the battery and waited, then plugged it back in... Turned out to be nothing (last code I had was for gas cap)

you can get an evap code (gas cap) from topping off your tank after the first click.. it will turn off after a few days..

the front sensors tell the motor how to run... the rear tell the ecu how the cats are doing.. in a nutshell.

also a small muffler will normally be louder because it has less time to "muffle" the sound.. leave your muffler and wait till you are cat-less... go and drive 65mph for an hour then get out of your truck and your ears will let you know if it is too loud.. or try to talk to someone without yelling.. or make a phone call... lol...

problem is, I have partial hearing loss already, so loud to me is louder than normal...

I know what it sounds like with no catback. Ridiculously loud, obnoxious, and attention grabbing. Makes it no fun to drive regularly.

Sooo now I got a No muffler catback, URD y pipe and URD headers.... Loud AF. Sounds alright in the cab, just considering a resonator due to the extra attention it will bring...

A nice muffler will really help. Your ears will thank you. I have a feeling that you have some sort of decibel level that you are legally supposed to be under as well. You will want to check up on that.

Georgia doesn't technically have one... it says they can PC you from loud exhaust, but if you show up to court, the loud exhaust wont stand... I spent a few hours reading into it.... I don't do drugs or drink, so thatd be all they could say is loud exhaust (and MAYBE speeding lol)....

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that when you add up the percentages in the poll they are more than 100%?
