exhaust fumes harmful?
Would anyone know if exhaust fumes from a catless car be anymore harmful than one with a cat? I'm asking because I just had it removed and now notice a stronger exhaust smell.

That would be consistant, the cat converter acts as a filter and helps to take pollutants out of your exhaust. Personally IMO its environmentally irresponsible to drive without one....

Every car should should have a cat converter and it wil be nice when the only exhaust from our vehicles is water vapour. I'm so friggin tired of summer smog warning days...and most of it we get from OHIO

I don't think I've ever lived anywhere that has issued a smog warning. Not that I don't agree with you that it'* an issue, just not one I've personally had to deal with.
