Any reason why you couldn't just remove the cats altogeather and replace with a straight pipe? Since they don't check emmisions in your state I doubt they check to see if the cats are on. Also in the event you want to sell the car to an out-of-stater you could put them back on without having to buy them again.

I think I'll send this thread to the Greenpeace headquarters.

 

That costs money. Scraping 'em out is free. Plus on a visual inspection, it would appear that you have cats.

 

exactly, plus one of the 02 sensor bung fitting is in the side of the cat, probably be more money than it is worth to cut them out and re weld pipes.

 

Yeah, there would be more to it than welding some pipes on, which I'm not a welder... I'd have to pay someone a minimum of $75 to weld the pipes. Plus, you'd also need the guy to be able to weld fittings (a total of three) onto the h-pipe. So, you are talking more like $150 by the time you get fittings and get someone to weld it all up. If there is ever testing, you'll be able to get a cheap catted pipe for less than that, I'm sure. But that's a big if.

 

 

Not here in Knoxville.

 

get a tune and you wont have codes and will pass emmissions in most states, even ct.

 

wow thats a blast from the past

 

I think Faber was bored How many days till you get your car back Faber?

 

HOLY

real blast from the past - dang

hey - why was that 2005MustangGT guy banned anyway - I've never seen a name with a LINE through it like that before!

 

He was struck out

 

This whole thread predates me being here on TMS!

I probably won't get an answer to this but why was he banned? Too many violations of the curse word filter? Driving a Honda and LIKING it?

Gutting the cats sounds like a bad idea, especially here in the People's Republic of California. One highway sniffer station would make out to be a very expensive day.

 

Who remembers anymore... Dropped at birth maybe?
