Anyone know if the cats on the V6 are removable with flange points on either side so that I can replace them with straight pipes and put the cats back on in case the engine light affects performance?
Thank you
"with the light on the car is in reduced power mode mate."
"also...the front pipes have expansion chambers in them...THEY ARE NOT CATS..the v6 has ONLY 1 CAT ^^^ part number a couple of posts up...^^^"
Read this from another post regarding V6 cats. So does the decat affect the...
Just read from another thread. Another V6 has a decat with the engine light on and said that the car feels real sluggish. From what i read here, the engine light from the cat shouldnt affect the performance at all right?

Here is the link...
How does the car feel? Taking out the cat is not supposed to affect performance from what i hear from this forum. The light comes on but the performance is not supposed to be afftect.
So I just leave the sensor hanging outside? There should be a hold on the stock exhaust system to put the second sensor into. I can just drill a hole on the new exhaust and put that sensor back in right?
So I guess there isnt a way to get around it.
I am planning to decat this weekend. Guess I will have to buy one of those O2 sensors and give it a try.
I am surprised a few guys had decatted their V6s here and yet there is no solution.
Who else has decatted their V6s here? I want to ask...
Will this work for sure though? Or does it just turn off the light temporarily and it will come on again. Any car with an engine light, the light can be resetted with the scanner, but then it just comes back on after a while.
has anyone tried this? will it actually work? I dont understand what kinda reading it gives off to the ecu though, cuz every cars second exhaust reading should be different
its wierd how it doesnt affect the performace though. ive driven other cars with sensors before and after the cat and had the cat taken out. the engine light comes on and the car does lose power
ok thank you. so i guess i will just go with the decat and leave the engine light on until someone comes up with a chip or something that will fix it.
thanks a lot guys
Dear all,
I have searched numerous times but I have yet to find an answer. Will decatting the v6 definitely get the engine light to come on? If so, how can I permanantly get it off? Is there a chip or device I can buy? If the engine light stays on, will it affect performance?
Thanks a lot
ive been tryng to find out what exactly this is but cant seem to find answers. i want to know if it will get rid of the engine light if i decat. do i need to have my car there to tune? what are the prices?
