do i need cats
90 silverado. tired old 350 wanted to run some straight straight pipes. i told the kid i didnt know if the engine would run right. he said he'd come back in the morning before school. can i straight pipe his truck or does it need the catylitic converters.

Re: do i need cats
If you have emissions testing in your state. You bet. They are required by law.

Re: do i need cats
You don't have any O2 sensors behind the cat like the '96+ OBD-II trucks do, so running without a cat won't make your truck run badly or anything. If you want/can do it, go for it.

Nope. Only '96+ trucks with OBD-II have the sensors after the cats.
