want to know if removing the catalytic converter in the 4g93 galant causes any sensor problems etc.
thanks

I would not remove the CAT unless you looking to race or it is forked up. Minimal HP gains. If you doing a IHE, I would think it would be worth it. If it is GDI, I would advise against it, as just about any mod I have seen done to that engine causes problems, from cone filter to exhaust barrel changed, problems with the engine soon after.

^^what is an IHE?
yes the engine is GDI and i know these engines give problems an ppl shud just stay the hell away from doing mods on it.....is my gf car an she gone by de muffler shop to weld on a tip an de welder man tryin to chain she up to remove the CAT....cuz he tell she de catalyst particles does fly up in de engine an cause problems lol

IHE

Intake (aftermarket free flowing intake K&N etc)
Headers (extractor type manifold)
Exhaust (bigger exhaust piping)

i think a power seller has extractors (4-2-1) for this model and will accommodate the oxygen sensor...going for 1200 or so....can't recall who...someone from Rio Claro
