Since I am not in a county that requires emissions inspection, I am wondering what effect dumping the cat will have?
Initially, I have two 88TCs. My Blackbird runs better than my Whitebird. Blackbird has had the convertor recall performed on it. Whitebird has not. I don't know if this recall has run out or what, as I have run both Whitebird and Bluebird by the Ford dealer and they say no recalls listed for them. Neither have had their convertors replaced. So I am considering dropping the convertor to see if the car will run better. First I am going to do a complete tuneup and check the compression, change fuel filters etc.
So bottom line.... do the cars run better with no convertor and is there any drawbacks to taking it off?
