Maryland isnt just defending a product, hes trying to defend against the logic that "If jannety says this is how it is..this is how it is." I think that ted has a good prescense in the forums..but it annoys the hell out of me when someone says oh ted said this, or oh ted said that...i think people need to learn to think for themselves sometimes, and not just accept the first opinion that comes along. There are so many variables, as clearly stated in this thread, that you cant say cat failure is guaranteed with a supercharger..you have different parts, different tunes, different temperatures humidity elevation etc that play into the way a car runs etc. Is it "wise to run without cats? the answer is an obvious yes.
Theres a potential for cat failure, "wise" indicates your not oblivious to this and take the steps to prevent it. However, it isnt "wise" just state if you have a car with 600+hp on forced induction that its automatically going to fail...
I think reputations have a tendency to pro-create themselves around here..Jannetty obviously is well versed in the automotive world, however, everyone has their own opinions, and sometimes, we all make false calls....and everyones situations and experiences are different.
The moral is, when it comes to this kind of game, no one should log onto a computer, post a question, take the first response they get, and run with it. That first guy could be completely wrong, or completely right...why chance your money on what someone else knows..I think thats what maryland is getting at here...he isnt just defending a brand for sales sake. If you log on, your always going to get a right and wrong answer...its up to you to gather the facts, opinions, and occasionally the bullshit, and make your own semi- informed, best judgement decision.
Sorry for the rant..just so tired of watching people jump on the bandwagon on this forum, especially when they have no experience with the issue at hand and just because one person says so...
Not a stab at jannety, maryland or anyone...just something everyone needs to realize.
