Chris, for me the primary and foremost advantage to removing the cat has nothing to do with fuel consumption or performance.

A cat runs very hot, and is thus a fire hazard when driving through long grass...

Good day. Removing the cat is good to the car. Help performance...

The lamdas are infront of the cat, if fitted. Wont affect the car with the cat gone.
