we could argue about your treehuggerness all say & the fact remains cats cost more so few are willing to pay that extra $38x2+shipping+cutting & welding of their $129 off road ypipe. You also know that even moving your working cats is illegal so anythign your doing is still against the law so don't think your any better then anyone else cuz your slurging on new cats. Not to mention having cats installed is a complete pita on 4th gens & the ground clearance with most of the aftermarket cats is horrendous and it still wouldnt guarantee the computer wont throw a code meaning you'd need to cheat to pass emissions anywayz...there are thousands that have done the same thing & have throw inefficient cat codes even with perfectly functioning cats.
