    You may notice more oil smoke from the exhaust. People who have removed their cats and installed dumps / testpipes have on occasion noticed substantial amount of smoke due to the reduction of backpressure, and leaking turbo seals.

    Get two de-cat pipes built and swap them out and see how it goes.

    Richie rich...

    You wont run rich, but it may have an affect on your Turbo's in regards to backpressure. It's not the case for everyone though and you might be fine. But some people who have removed their cats had problems with leaking turbo seals from the lack of back pressure, which then resulted in burning oil and smoke out the tail pipe. Other people have never had a problem...

    But just remember, the role of the Cats is to convert harmful gases such as Carbon Monoxide into regular gases which are safer for the environment and yourself. CO is harmful to humans, breathe enough of it and it will kill you. If this is your daily driver, I would put the cats in...not worth the risk.

    Cheers
    Rob.
