do I need a Cat for texas
 

I am just wondering if I need one here or not, I think in Colorado and Utah I need it, and I will probably keep one on because I dont know where I will live in a year, but if it helps performance at all and I won't need one on my truck I can like that :D

Nope nope nope chop it off! I'm glad mine never came with one thats for sure. nothin but restriction.

Thanks, What about the fact that I have a manual tranny? I was reading that it was required on those :(.

i really hate when people say cats are nothing but restriction. Factory ones yes. Aftermarket high flows, no. I am running a 4" magnaflow high flow cat on mine. there is no difference between when i was straight piped and now. I am not required in Georgia to do emissions, but I also dont wanna risk a prick cop who can give you a $1500 fine for not running a cat on a vehicle that was factory equipped with one. just saying.
