  • Has anyone done a CAT delete on the B3 ?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has deleted the CAT off of there B3 engine ? and if so what benefits are there on it. I have done it on a few other vehicles but I am not sure if the Festiva will act up or if it will thrive from the extra flow ?

    I did it on my B6 swap. Not on a B3 yet. Can't tell ya what kind of difference it made cuz it's been that way since the swap. Sorry

        Mine has a glass pack in place of the cat. Sounds good and runs fine. Also have a glass pack in place of the regular muffler.

          Thank you, did you notice any increase in gas mileage ?

            Only way gas mileage is gonna increase is if the cat is bad and plugging up the exhaust.

              Probably less, I like the sound of it
              Actually it's about the same. 38-42 at 70 mph.
