Ghana politics aside....I would recommend the same thing. Buy an older 4x4 once there and sell it when he moves back. You just can not run leaded fuel on an unleaded with success (well, you can....let me know how many miles the engine lasts). And some of the other members are right about sensors going bad and terrible fuel mileage. Unfortunately, this isn't the 1965-69 muscle car era....there are sensors in the cat that are fed back to the ECU, and the ECU then adjusts whatever it needs to adjust to get optimum performance. Take it out, and you just opened up a piece of the loop and the ECU will have trouble distinguishing forward from backward. Now, I'm an engineer, and feel this is sensible enough I don't need references, no offense. I wouldn't even try leaded gas. That, and it will surely void his warranty instantly.
