Is It True That If You Remove The Cats You Car Won't Shift?

[texasss]

I Own A 98 Ss And I'm About To Installed Headers, Y Pipe And Remove Those Cats, My Cars Has An A/t, I Went To Performance Local Store
Guy On The Counter Tells Me It Wont Shift Is This True? Please Some Help

[Zboner]

that guy is full of SHIT, what in the hell does the exhaust have to do with your transmission, he is just blowing smoke up your ass, all it will do is throw a code and thats cuase it will not be tuned, i would not take my car to that guy!!

[texasss]

Well The Guy Says It's Only On Automatic Trans, He Had Has Cases Before On Different Cars By Removing The Cats The Car Will Not Shift Properly Or Will Not Shift At All, So I'm Thinking What The Cats Got To Do With The Trans? I Think The Guy Is Full Of Crap,
What U Guys Think?

[Zboner]

Guy On The Counter Tells Me It Wont Shift Is This True? Please Some Help

that guy is full of it, if he has had cases of the tranny not shifting it's just a coincidence that the tranny went out when the cats came off. The cats only do emissions shit and rob hp...that's it

[Eric @ DMS]

I"m so speechless....wow

Hey did you know your car will experience serious engine knock if you install new rims?...lmao

[SSNAKEATER23]

The Guy Is Full Of It, Leave His Shop Asap!!!!!!!!

[lytmup]

wow.....lmao:lmao: ....wow.. thats the stupidest thing that i have ever heard

[redz284u]

when i took my cats off the car went :drivin:

[XtinKt]

Ditto. Go somewhere else. What a TOOL.

[98_Formula]

go back and ask him if u can record him sayin that... try not to laugh when u ask...

The only down-side I've been told about LT headers and no cats is a loss of gas mileage. A kid in my area gets 13.5 MPG according to him, because of the exhaust.

[jimmi7769]

Yeah and if you pull on your ______ too much you'll go blind......

[XtinKt]

i have LT's no cats. I still get 22-28 mpg

[graphicsgod]

Yeah and if you pull on your ______ too much you'll go blind......

Well it all depends on where it goes :D. Theres a few times I've almost hit myself in the eye!

This is one of the funniest threads I've read in a while! :Popcorn: :lmao:

I hope he has good prices on parts, because he is charging way too much for labor(since the shop owner hires people who know absolutely nothing about cars)!

[Eric @ DMS]

This has to be one of the funniest threads I've seen in a while. Talk to the guy's manager and ask specifically...so according to your shop my car won't shift if I remove the cats. Why is this so? I'd love to hear his answer or at least expression. Come on now...give us another laugh ;)

[MadSeason]

HAHAHA how many of us read this just wanting to laugh, wonder if the mechanic lied on his application

[LS1ROC]

hey TEXASSS...the only thing you need to worry about is getting (2) 02 simulators. It will run all screwed up if you dont.Or you can have the computer programmed by a professional ( mine done at SPEARTECH by John Spears. This way you wont need but 2 02's anyway. You would be able to use one of those bungs for a exaust gas temp guage.

[PaganEgyptian]

While your telling the dumbass off, tell him he needs to regrease his Muffler Bearings, they are making a grinding noise. -Tim

[myk02k]

cut-outs a no-no. THATS what i think did the gas mileage for the kid i know.

[whoss01]

No Its Not True

[vin98SS]

It might be the finnigen pin

[Adam_346]

:rotfl: :rotfl: are you serious ? Im not tryin to be an @ss or anything but c'mon. Won't shift without the cats ? :rotfl:

[JwMonE99]

I have taking the cat off of a V6 and it took away all the back pressure and made the car sound like shit when at 3RPM or higher. What are they effects of taking the CAT off of a V8 besides that the check engine light comes on?

[JwMonE99]

BTW it wont mess up the transmission, they will shift just fine

[JwMonE99]

Anyone?

[Ls1Phillip]

dont let him work on your car:cheers:

[Y2KPewterSS]

Closing this thread, its old and not very technical. Removing cats doesn't stop the transmission from shifting.
