I did not remove the converters. I used the converters that came with the headers, well if you can call them converters. The manufacturer of the kit said they were "race" converters and swore that they would not cause any problems and would work similar to the factory cats. I doubted it from the start since when I looked inside the replacement "converters" they looked more like a resonator.

The kit does not have not catalytic converters, those humps after the headers are just perforated core resonators with a tiny bit of packing around them. Whoever told you otherwise flat out lied. They are just there to look like cats from the outside to make the vehicle pass a visual inspection, but it would fail a sniffer test.

Like I said though, the vendor was correct in that they will not cause you any problems....other than the annoying check engine light.

i guess its a good thing that i plan on getting a tune after i do all the mods that i want including these headers. debating on whether i wanna get the rear o2s tuned out or get the perameters set so i can still have them
