Default Did any remove primary cats?

Since our fellow GS members are only into rims and springs, I thought Id bring this here! I am thinking of removing primary cats (GS460) that are a part of our headers. I just want to know if any ISF member did this and if it triggered a CEL? or I may just order Sikky and modify it to fit my car. It did wonders to the ISF!

You will get a CEL if you remove the primary cats. The only way around it is to use a simulator or conditioner for the O2.

Definitely a CEL on. It wont affect anything until you sell it or time for emissions/smog. So in the long-haul, it can become costly.

If the wiring is the same, I assume it is, but you never know, it should work with the GS. BTW, PPE uses the same conditioner on the IS350 which is the same engine used in the GS350, so the wiring should be the same.
