Hey guys,
To start things off, I made this thread in hopes to learn about how different mods affect the way our cars run. I do not endorse deviating from any vendor-suggested setups if you are running their kits.
That said, I'm wondering if anyone has ever run a primary cat with a stage 2. BR's stage 2 tune calls for bolt ons (FMIC, intake, full TBE, 550 injectors). Since the cats are restrictive, it only makes sense that a cat delete will fully open up the gains.
I've done a bit of reading regarding the stage 2. The consensus seems to be that catless is going to be smelly and that's not something I want to deal with. I'm running a stage 3 right now and I get headaches when I idle. I could go down to a stage 1, but I already have my FMIC, intake, and catback, so I feel like I'm stuck between stages.
What are the dangers of running a stage 2 with a cat?
