I just noticed my car has 2 cats. I never noticed the close coupled cat attached to the manifold till a couple of days ago. rolleyes.gif Anyone know why the tib has 2 catalytic converters? can i remove the one thats underneath the car? i would have to redo my custom exhaust, but i dont care....if i can remove it i certainly will. Please lemme know if you guys know anything about this setup. Thanx!

 

Its my turn to use this pic. MUAHAHAH tongue.gif

 

The 2000 tibs and previous years only had 1 cat. the in 2001 they added a second cat. that can be removed, there are no O2 sensors after the second cat.

 

sorry i just have to correct you on this, I have a 98 and had 2 cats, I believe only the 97's and early 98's used the 1 cat... but don't quote me on that, Random should make that sure

my 2000 has two cats...
soon to be one with a set of SR 4-2-1 headers!!! tongue.gif

 

Tibs with california emissions have 2 cats. Some apparently have a cat-looking resonator and a cat.

 

Ding Ding!! we have a winner tongue.gif

but yah seriously, unless its a cali. spec car that second "CAT" is just a resinator. i imagine the next question will be "Well can i remove it when i add an exhaust?" and the answer will alway be "Most Definately good sir!, and you rightly should!!" wink

 

Hmm! I have cali 99 tib and only has 1 upclose cat

 

look under the car silly

 

97 tib, 1 Cat, and 1 resonator.

Course I also live just about as far from CA as I can, Boston!
