Can i tune my evo with stock converter

 

sure? you can tune the evo when it's completely stock

 

you would get a decent power increase from getting rid of the stock cat, and either going high flow cat or test pipe. IMO test pipe is the best way to go, that is unless your in one of the **** like states here and they'll jump all over you for altering your vehicle...

 

I also read that the smell of fumes are to strong from switching the cat

 

I can't smell anything and I'm catless, it is the exact opposite for the people driving behind you though.

 

Get a test pipe, and then when emissions come around just put your stock cat back in. You can't smell it in the car at all unless you have your windows down and you come to a sudden stop. People behind you will be able to smell it.

 

And to answer OP's question, yes.

 

I can usually smell my exhaust anytime I'm stopped at a red light and I'm catless. Maybe I have a leak...

 

Damn..

 

Fumes is no.good

 

You can tune a completely stock evo, but i don't know why you would want to. LOL

I know that living in California and removing the cat is a big no no. But, you bought an EVO. You want more power, leaving the stock cat robs you of potential power.

I've been running cat less for 7 years with no issues. I've run cat less on all of my boosted cars so in my opinion it's the way to go.

 

I want to also but I don't want a cell light on or the smell

 

Do u guys know if buschur hfc throws they cell light

 

I'm might sale my coilovers..if anybody interested let me know

 

That's what the FS thread is for pal

I am catless and I can only smell the fumes when I'm stopped, otherwise I don't smell it.
