[DML] Re: catalytic converters

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, please do disable your catalytic converter.  While you're at it, pour 
your used oil down the drain, leave the old antifreeze out for animals to 
drink, and just throw your old tires over the fence (set them on fire 
first to really give your neighbors a thrill).  Old batteries make nice 
lawn ornaments.

All sarcasm aside, the catalytic converter will reduce harmful emissions 
substantially while having only a trivial impact on performance.  A 
display of callus disregard for emissions will only encourage more 
stringent environmental laws that restrict the use of classic automobiles, 
or in some cases even promote their destruction.

If emissions testing is not an issue, you can simply hollow out the
catalytic converter. Increases exhaust sound somewhat.
