Unhappy Cats on Bikes?

I know on some larger disp engines - they have been here, but on a Bonne? What next- let me see , our weedwakerrs, lawn mowers, snow blowers (that oughta be a real good one!!) Hell the heat of the cat would melt the snow- negagitng the blower part! A new invention!! A snow melter? Kinda outa hand!! Thgere oughta be a limit on cc's for cats. The emmisssions from a cat arent really better that a well tuned engine! Sulfur dioxide gas & water = sulfuric acid!! Computers can control emmissiomns so why do we even need CATS any more?? $$ I am sure. There has to be a good profit on them & if ALL internal combustion engines are req to have them= BIG $$$$!!! I remember selling Mazdas in the 70's & they had a unit called a thermal reactor. It met all emission stds then & now. Are they used any more? NO~! It used the heat from the exhaust thru a special screen to burn off any excess un burnt gasses. Catalictic converters are an unecessary item any more! Will they go away- not likely! Too much $$ being made. I guess thats what we call progress? Removing the A/I will help your pipes, but I NEVER heard of a "pre - catylist? I guess that makes me a dummy too? O well- mine has none of that sh**!!
