So CEL been on for good six months plus, for the pre cat, cat integrated in manifold. Which is causing I believe horrible gas mileage and miss.
I do not want to spend $900-1400 to replace, since I plan on trading the car in, in near future and will have dealership deal with it/and smog lol.
So I am wondering what would it take to eliminate that dam precat cheaply, and I mean cheap as possible, and will if affect the car or cause it loose power. I have read it's the start up cat, and it's what computer reads for air fuel mixture etc. So if I somehow can cut cat off add pipe to extend down to resistor, it is possible would cause issues or make CEL stay on.
Or do I need to look at going a different route or buying different headers with a cat?
Help please??!!?? I've never seen anything like this, and I disgusted with the design, and price to replace
