[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 893602, member: 56140"] Even if you gained 1 MPG by removing the cat, you are still in the hole. On a tank of 22 gallons, you are going 22 miles further. Awesome! 22 miles. At 18 MPG, that is about 1.22 gallons of fuel saved. Now we are talking! XCAL tuner will cost over $300.00, but lets just say $300.00 for sake of argument. Now, with a savings of $4.88 per tank, it will take just over 61 tank fulls to pay for the XCAL. At an average of 18 MPG, you would need to drive about 24,000 miles to break even. Roughly about 1 1/2 years of driving. In the end, you are not saving a dime, are commiting a felony, not gaining anything, wasting money, and putting yourself into a situation that could cause you more headaches than you can imagine. Of course, it is your vehicle. You do what you want. Tom [/QUOTE]
