    Has anyone removed the cats from the 2000 or 2001 VFR's? Would I loose power or mess up the timing or fuel injection?
    Thanks

    Ditching the cat is a popular mod - typically the combination is lose the cat, add a slip-on, aftermarket air filter and Power Commander 3, and then get a custom map. --Of course all this is "off road purposes only" :rolleyes:

    Oh - I'm dense - lots of people go to a 98-99 stock header or an aftermarket is MOTAD. Even 6th gen guy like to go that way.

    To your question - no timing effects and your Ok on fuel injection, but you will want a PC3.

    David; I pretty much agree with the Mello one. I gutted the cat. converter
    on my 00. I didn't buy a 99 exaust or an aftermarket system, I put
    all the stock stuff back on. I think the mod. helps,seems to pull
    harder in the top end. Be patient with this job,it aint a 15 minute
    deal, but I think its worth it! eddie
