Default Cats and Cams

Ok, don't hate a brother for this but am I the only one that shakes my head when guys on here talk about "getting rid of the cats" or "upgrading the cams" I know I probably seem like a dick but ITS ONLY ONE CAT IN THE EXHAUST AND ONLY ONE CAM IN THE M8, SINGULAR FOR BOTH! sorry guys I know that's some petty crap but just had to get that off my chest, LoL

What area of technology are you in?

Web programmer here.
