Decat - KINDA

[RyanGphoto]

So instead of replacing the 3rd cat with the De-cat.. Could I just bore out the 3rd cat and it would be like having a straight pipe (GRP 3rd cat delete) back there? So If I had to take it somewhere no one would know...

I dunno just thinking would that save me a few hundred $$ and still sound basically the same?

Any pitfalls? Any issues anyone can see?

Thanks

Upsides: Free
Downsides: Flow won’t be the same as a straight tube, you ruin a valuable stock cat, it’s extra work, and the rest of the Emira community wonders why you bought an Emira to save $250.

Really just wondering for wondering sake.. To keep it stock looking.. that a valid response?

I doubt I would keep the 3rd cat if I removed it afterwards.. So not sure what to do with it other than scrap... open to ideas.. I guess I could keep it in storage for whenever I sell it (6+ years from now)..

I have a friend that offered to help me install the valve controller and I mentioned the 3rd cat delete and he said he has "bored" out his other cars and it's simple and free.. so I thought I would ask the community it's thoughts on this..

No one can even see the 3rd cat unless they take the under tray off. I would be concerned with the bore introducing all sorts of debris into that path. I would say not worth the trouble. Not even sure how that would sound.
