Mr.Plow · 09-15-2009, 11:29 AM

Has any one been pulled over and fined for removing the CAT form the exhaust system of there truck? ??

There is no real way to tell unless they get under the truck and look. Mine has been out for 2 yrs now.

Replaced the whole exhaust and removed the cat almost immediately after buying the truck..... '06 dodge megacab 3500 with cummins power!!!!!

I don't think it's been a issue in alberta but maybe different if you lived in bc.

probably, if they can prove any damage was caused by removing it, but like the service manager and shop foreman at the dealership i bought my truck from said....... If they can prove it -- fat chance of anything happening as a result of removing it......

But, newer vehicles with the particulate filters, may have issues and you better check into it further then.......

This is only a problem where there is emissions testing.

you could possibly end up with an issue if you ever moved and needed an out of province insp. might not pass without it.

If I can recall correctly, you cannot pass a bc inspection without one.

I agree with you, and I haven't heard of it being a problem, but I think if the dealer says it's a problem then YOU will be responsible for proving that it wasn't the problem ....... and most people don't have the resources to battle their lawyers, etc.

My dealer is the one who told me to remove the cat. Just note if you remove both the muffler and cat you will get a little better milage but it takes awhile for the turbo to spool up when starting from a stop. (no back pressure)
