I took the cat off my Miata today to see what it sounds like. Worst fucking idea ever. How do ricers deal with this shit?
Deleting your cat is just irresponsible. They don't reduce emissions by half, ten times, or even a hundred times. Your car spews more noxious shit than 300 other cars put together when you delete the cat.
Any different feel performance-wise?

Cat delete Ironhide no real performance gains.

Honestly, no. Just feels like you're going faster because you can't actually hear how fast your're going if you know what I'm saying. Besides, the Miata is always a slowcart.

I replaced mine (95 mx5) with a resonator back in 2010. I redline a LOT and noticed a very very slight difference over 5.2k. My car sounds fucking amazing because 3 resonators and a muffler.
Here is a vid from one of my two channels, just note I tend to be high as fuck when I decide to make vids:

Modern cars are still clean even with the cat removed. That's what the magnitude of emission control sensors and fuel injection are for. Also why you can't anhero yourself with a modern car.

Look, think about all of the airplanes and cargo ships around the world with no catalysts...
...Then think about my 1.8L pushing just over a ton and tell me how horrible I am.

Not really no. If anything direct injection increases emissions because combustion happens in rich pockets.

Airplanes fly well above the clouds where wind will disperse their emissions and ships at sea don't impact urban areas. Stop decatting your car, other people have to breathe it as you idle in traffic.

Not to mention the sludge-tier high sulfur diesel ships burn.
