Ever since I removed my cats on my car I've been getting shitty gas mileage, I mean u can see the freakin needle moving while your driving!!

I thought the O2 sensors would solve the problem because my SES light went off, but it's still pretty bad, I don't know what's wrong? [Confused]

Just curious, but it may lead to an answer. I'm guessing you replaced your O2's with an MIL eliminator. When using these you should only replace the rear O2's(what used to be after cats), the front O2's are used only for fuel control and should not be replaced when removing the cats. If you or the installer replaced your FRONT O2's with the MIL eliminators, this could cause your poor mileage. If not, I'll go with what the last guy said, liking the new sound a bit too much!

what exactly is your mileage like, you might not have been paying attention to the needle before you did this and it was always like that [Confused]
