mulegejim,
I don't know much about car engines these days. I understand that replacing the CAT with a straight pipe might worsen gas mileage and would certainly cause the check engine light to stay on perpetually.

The truck is registered in South Dakota.

Also, I want to leave the option open of selling the truck in my home state of California at a later date, meaning that it will have to be smog checked and registered in California. That date may come sooner rather than later if it comes to pass that holders of Residente Permanente status are only allowed to drive Mexican plated vehicles in the Baja. In that case, I would have to take my truck out of Baja as it is cost prohibitive to nationalize it in Mexico.

Mitch, makes more sense now. I replaced the CC on my 1993 Chev PU a couple of years ago with no problems. I ran new 3 1/2 inch exhaust from the headers straight to a new high flow muffler and on out the back. Seems like a little more power but most likely my imagination at work. Jim
