knocking out the cat?

[jysty]

I have an adjustible boost control inside the car. is it safe to knock out the cat?

it's a wastegate issue, if you want to run with lower boost, it might be okay??
you still have the stock wastegate right?
big chance you will get overboost problems..

No. Don't do it unless you have some sort of aftermarket wastegate.

Even if you did, just get a high flow cat or a dump before the cat for racing. Having no cat stinks (literally) and is a little too redneck IMO...

I never had a cat on my truck. It was hollowed out when I bought it, I never knew until I recently removed the cat and downpipe. The truck was quicked but it didn't build boost right in 1st and 2nd and overboosted badly in 3rd. Don't do it.
