Hey 2fast4thelaw.

1) The leak is small.
2) It is worse to remove your cats/install LTH/ or do a full delete
3) Catalytic converters were made for a reason. Google it.

Thanks for your input.

This mod is temporary. I don't have money to blow off. (at least not yet!)
Relax with that sarcasm, trust me, you will go much further without it at your age.

I could see arguments for both sides. But it's nice to see that you at least acknowledge that you're a disgrace to this community.

And btw, I think you should re-read my post. I was actually trying to defend you by suggesting that there are probably people with other cars who have done the same thing, so there's no reason be concerned that what you've done will single out the 370z community for embarrassment. But then you went and admitted to everyone that you've disgraced the community, choosing instead to advance the argument that nobody should care because hey, you're happy, and as long as you're happy that's all that matters, right? Never mind that your happiness may come at the expense of the reputation of the rest of the community. Who cares? It's all about your personal happiness. You're the only person in this universe who matters. Like you said, no regrets. It's all about you, because you're number 1!

I don't know you, so in all seriousness, I don't want to judge you because I actually get the impression from some of your posts that I might enjoy hanging out with you in person. You just seem like the kind of easy-going type of person that I enjoy hanging with. But I gotta tell you, just for the sake of your awareness, that your "I'm happy and that's all that matters" attitude really makes you come off sounding like a bit of a selfish douche. I'm guessing that you're anything but selfish, which is why I want to point out the impression that you're projecting here (inadvertently, I presume).
It's really not that big a deal...it's his car, leave him alone to do whatever he wants to with it. Nobody is out there judging the community of 370z owners? lol

Oh I know. I just wanted to point out to him how he comes off sounding.

Sure there is. I mean, just look at the stereotype that gets applied to the Honda Civic tuner community, or the Camaro community for that matter. Like it or not, communities get judged, and they earn their reputations through the actions of their members. Now, as for whether or not we should actually care, I guess that's debatable. Personally, I'm inclined to say no, we shouldn't care. There will always be haters. Why lose sleep over it? But I could see an argument for the other side too. If the 370z community develops a reputation for street racing, just as a hypothetical example, then guess what happens? We all pay the price for that reputation by way of increased harassment from people wanting to race us when we're just trying to mind our own business, not to mention increased harassment from cops out to nail street racers. Again, that's just a hypothetical example. But I think it illustrates how a community's reputation can easily impact all its members, including those individuals who did nothing to contribute to that reputation.
