Question Deleting front Catalytic converter question.

I am calling around to have my front Cats deleted and only use my 2 rear cats. I know that my O2 Sensors will have to be relocated in order to keep the CEL light from going on. I will also replace my 2 rear cats with "Metal Cat" higher flow 200 cell later down the road so for now it will only use the factory rears.

I am going to try drive the 4 hours and get this done tomorrow in Houston at Motorwerks!! So before I do this does anyone have any comments as to what to watch out for? Has this been done on the W208 before?

keep us posted

About CEL coming on.

If all is well please post some before and after photos so others can do it too for those lovely trees in California.

Everything good is illegal, immoral or fattening.

Well I am not going to totally delete my primaries anymore. Instead I am just going to replace my stock primary cats with higher flowing 200 cell cats and then delete my secondaries later down the road.
