Your right when everything is really messed up lets do what we can to make it worse, thats defiantly the fix. If you can afford an F and then afford to mod it you should scrape together enough for cats. Obviously just my opinion, props to lowrideraz for doing cats! Random Technology Cats in my F and Type R

I agree, as I mentioned earlier, on my last car with headers the high flow cats permitted the car to pass the sniffer test.

Im curious to really see after people install this. The only issue I had is the cel would come on ever 1500-2000 miles so I just pulled the battery and re set every time. Im not sure if the lexus is that easy to just pull the battery if you do get a cell. I know the 1 and only prototype isf has had this and it works, but it still does not mean your never going to get a cel.
Works great. No issues with over 8k miles

Lou,

I would be interested in seeing how this is done when you get around to posting pics of the headers and install.

+1. There is no reason to run dirty when the technology is available, affordable, and does not result in any measurable power loss. Even if it did lose a few hp, it's a small price to pay for being a decent steward of the planet and leaving a world slightly less polluted than it would have been.

Sure we've done a lot to make a mess, but we've also figured out how to affordably minimize it too. Do you really think your kids deserve this kind if irresponsible behavior by adults?

The general population of cars and car modifiers honestly don't run catless. I mean everyone had the same mentality as us running cat less systems than we'd be in a world of hurt on this planet. While yes, every person can do their part to help save the planet. A majority of the pollution is created by industrial companies and manufacturers. It's easy to say the biggest global polluter is china. They don't have any of the pollution laws and regulations that the U.S. does. Not to say that the average US driver doesn't do their fare share of pollution but most of the current cars within the last decade are low emission vehicles that has significantly reduced carbon output.

^----you're right.....and they'll tax you for it too. Just check into the global carbon trading exchange and see whos behind that. They laugh at us all the way to the bank knowing that there's no measurable difference in the carbon dioxide humans produce vs. the other planets in the solar system.
