I know with the *blah blah blah you shouldn't drive a sports car and ride a bicycle*. I'm not against having fun but I read a study that 1 cat-less vehicle produces the same amount of hydrocarbon output as 600 catted vehicles...

I thought about adding in 200 CEL cats in the midpipes to counteract this a bit but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't get hot enough to make any difference in filter, but may kill the smell.

What to do..
I've looked into 200cel downpipes but they are either mega expensive or Chinese cats welded into a stainless downpipe. Seems more appealing to me as I'm weary about wastegate rattle myself. But don't want garbage cats that could melt.
