It's illegal, immoral, and allows more emissions into the air. I can see how moral/immoral you all are. You are the reason I've been in the security business for 30 years, it always amazes me what people will do behind closed doors.

The pre and post sensors would be singing songs of sameness, causing faults

Not true if you do it right. I don’t have cats on either side and I used the flashark converterless pipes. Then used a curved tube that screws into the o2 sensor holes to trick the Jeep. The curved tube only worked on the flash ark pipes not stock. If you still have trouble tricking the computer then you can buy things that wire into the o2 sensor harness and make the Jeep think there’s cats. Keep in mind you will have a rattle sound with stock mufflers, I’m looking for muffler replacements currently if anyone has any suggestions.

No CATs = lots of stink when wheeling slow and window down.
