ANYHOW, the secondary o2's are plugged in and hanging ziptied in the engine compartment. WHat is the ISV? How does one clean it!?! Any info is great! Chris, I DO NOT blame the pipes, I know it is a catless issue, not a DACH issue!

Yeah, don't worry about it Chris. Like you, I thought the original post was assigning blame to DACH's design, but I'm sure anyone interested in bypass pipes who's reading this thread understands that this is an issue with all pipes, not just DACH. Your willingness to help solve the issue will overcome any other perceptions.

I put the name in the thread to eliminate ALL variables, and I was SURE that if I didn't put the name, that someone would later ask me what brand they were to help diagnose. Chris, CALL me if you have any issues with my conduct. We can discuss. NOW Let me REPHRASE:
I have eliminated teh cats from my car...now it stalls. They are a generic brand...no idea where I got them. How can I make my car stop stalling?

Adam...
I don't think your cat by pass pipe is causing your car to stall.
Have you replaced your DME Relay ? IIRC, the DME powers the fuel pump. As the car gets hot, so too will the relay and it may be shorting out intermittently ....causing the fuel pump to act up and affect fuel pressure..ie; poor idling and stalling.
FWIW, I've had my DACH cat by pass for over 3 weeks now and 500 miles. I've had not one driveability issue with the car. It pulls strong and idles perfectly.
Oh...and to say you weren't blaming Chris' by pass pipes as the reason your car was stalling is ridiculous. Your Post Topic states " DACH Catless X-Pipes:Stalling" Not much room for interpretation there pal.....

I DO NOT blame chris' pipes. I love the sound and finish of the pipes. I simply have never had my car stall until I removed the cats....and wanted you gys to help me diagnose this problem....it would be if the same if I had some coilover issues and wanted help, but didn't supply the brand of the coilovers which were giving me problems.....I'll look into the DME.
