One person de-catting their car will ofcourse make no real difference...

But I'd rather be part of the solution, not the problem ;)

Yeah, I don't really agree with it either but I don't think it's as bad as everyone makes out. The primary 'toxin' that the cat is converting is carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide doesn't really do permanent damage, it just restricts the amount of oxygen your body can get. This is because carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin better than oxygen, which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
If you were put in a room full of it with no escape then of course you'd suffocate to death (jews, gas chambers - same stuff) but many people breathe in large quantities of it everyday and they're fine, such as smokers.
Actually I'm almost positive that there would be twice as many toxins in cigarettes than an exhaust lol.

Having said that, I haven't done any research on it. I was just told to do it by another member here. I guess I will think twice about it.
