Subject: 3rd cats on 03' RT

Message:
I need help understanding more about the third cats on the 03 rt's. Correct me if I am wrong, they are removed when you replace the exhaust manifold with headers right? The guys at KRC Performance said the when you replace them you will need what they call a dual cat box so the your check engine light will not come on. Is all of this true? Can someone please expand upon this subject? Thanks in advance!

O.k. first of all the 3rd cat is not touched when you replace just the headers. The pre-cats are removed along with the stock exhaust manifold. These are the cats that have 02 sensors before and after them. With your new headers the pre-02 sensors are still used, but the 2 post o2 sensors are plugged into the cat box.

When you get headers it is a good idea to go ahead and replace the remainder of the exhaust (3rd cat, muffler, pipe, y-pipe which comes with the headers, etc.). Get a highflow cat (carsound, catco, etc. 3" in and out) and replace all your pipe with 3" along with a new 3" muffler.

You will pass emmissions and have a bad ass exhuast.
