i run a single 3inch catco hi flow. eats power, but it smooths out the tone and keeps it legal

[alachua]

[07BlackSS]

Just put the Test pipe on!...No more cats for me

[1988 Olds]

I have 2 High Flow Cats before a MagnaFlox X-pipe.

[TehWagon]

02 wrx wagon, 1 highflow cat (txs) - once i finally get around to putting my race pipe on, that number will dip to ZERO. (i do care about the environment, but hey, i recycle)

[2point4DSM]

I've got a 3" generic cat and a turbo. Turbos work like cats too, right....

[igo4bmx]

no cats...

[SexyDSM95]

I have a hollowed out cat that I slid over my test pipe....so I am legal kinda.

[moorefire]

Cats are for treehuggers

[teh DIRT]

this kid has uno cat. had a test pipe....didnt fit well...back to catted. But im N/A and it runs better this way

[MuddyREX]

I have 3 cats. Meow meow.

[Raven18940]

I have my stock two and when I get a performance downpipe I'll go down to one sport cat cause I don't hate the environment.

[LL2009]

Just put the Test pipe on!...No more cats for me X2

[99SL2_Modder]

I have a single magnaflow carsound highflow 2.25" cat.

Only because my car sounds like a pissed off lawnmower without cat/res/muffler.

[sneeky]

zip zero zilch... haven't had a cat for 25k...

[FeeJ]

still the triple cat stock system till I save up for the catless true duals, but that also depends where uncle sam ships me when i graduate

[04 Turbo Spec]

no cat no muffler and it passes inspection(with muffler)

[2point4DSM]

Stock 1g DSMs came with just one cat. Even with out a cat DSMs pass emissions at idle if they are tuned and maintained, most of the time. I got one on there to help with noise since I'm paranoid about pissing off neighbors and since I don't have anymore room for another muffler I figured this would be the next best thing.

Like Dave mentions, it eats power. The car dies off at the top. But the setup is good enough now that I'm more than happy with how fast it is and don't need to worry about trying to get more power out of it by removing a cat.

[Little G]

No cat for me either

[the mike]

Approxamately 0.

[sisforsurfing]

I have all three! If I took the time to install the stuff I already have in my basement I'd have one...

[PSI Chick]

can i have more than one option?

i have a dp with removable cat. so sometimes i have one cat, sometimes i have none. depends on what i feel like. right now i have no cat because i broke one of the bolts for the cat last time i removed it, so i can't put it back in.

[Sid]

Hopefully only one after Friday. If the weather plays nice and the wife hits the bricks early enough, I'll throw my header in before work. Gonna keep the one to TRY to be considerate toward the neighbors since I don't get off work 'til midnight.

[2001orangess]

no cats for me....i'll let my kids figure it out

so is this just an interchangeable race pipe? (similar to my catpipe, which i can replace with my racepipe) or something different? how does this work?

yes, that's exactly what it is. i have a magnaflow high-flow cat and a race pipe. i can swap them in about 15 minutes depending on what i need. i've been leaving in the race pipe because of the bolts, but also because it's race season and i use leaded gas (C16).

[seneca]

0.

[Adam496]

I used to have three, now i only have two.

[Orbit]

0 and guilty

[Silverfc88]

Whats a cat?

< Running 3inch from turbo to y pipe then two 2.5inch pipes to mufflers.

[WrxJC]

any cars newer than 95 don't need cats to pass inspection as long as you're not throwing a code. just a bit of info for those who think catless is un-inspectable.

[HickRocket1258]

On my mustang I have two cats but on the camaro I have one 4" Random Technology high flow cat.

Is that for every state, exept for cali?

....even a visual inspection?

I make myself exempt from emissions :mrgreen: but either way I have my "rig" just in case a cop wants to feel smart and check.

No, not having a cat is a sure fire way to fail inspection, they just either don't notice or don't care, but you can fail.

[specVogel]

0 cats here. and i just checked my emissions book the other day and 96 and newer obd2 cars do not require a visual inspection to pass emissions.

[Sid]

Ha! Just one. Not outta the woods yet, however. O2 bung was welded in a place that puts everything (non-foulers and/or sensor) in the way of the oil pan. So for now I have a brass plug in the bung and my O2 sensor zip-tied to the radiator support. Still waiting to throw a CEL. Also, not as loud as I had anticipated. How much more "noise" will a hi-flow cause?

exactly. like i said, as long as you don't throw a code there is no "visual inspection of the cat" so u pass, as long as you are 96 or newer. Matt(sincere) just got his catless car inspected and passed. In the "catalytic converter" section of the report it says N/A.

[Orbit]

it depends where you go. around here they look under your car with mirrors even if you don't have a cel.

If you are in NJ, there is a visual inspection. I failed for visual, and needed to swap in my catted DP to pass. As long as your CEL is simulated and not just shut off, you will pass the plug in OBD2 portion.

[seneca]

I wanna pass the plug =[

[Sid]

What if you throw a cel at some point, but not at the time of inspection? Does that show up on the scan?

[TehWagon]

not if you reset the ecu/clear the code...

[Sid]

not if you reset the ecu/clear the code...

That's what I thought. I've just heard/read how some ECU's save stuff like that to memory, basically so the dealer can prove that you didn't ventilate your block driving through a school zone at stock boost. lol

[TehWagon]

interesting... that's a new one to me...

[WrxJC]

Yes, just to clarify, i am talking about PA only

[Orbit]

you cant just clear the cel light then get inspected.you have to drive the car for awhile (don't know the milage). if you just reset the ecu the station can tell and will tell you to come back.

if someone knows a freindly place for inspecton. please pm me.

Yeah, that's basically what I meant. Just worded it improperly, I suppose. My inspection isn't up until July, so I should be cool. IF it decides to throw a cel before Friday. Roughly 150 miles and nothing yet...........

[sesolcSTI]

0 cats. Its the only way to go. Big flames and smog is teh winnAr!!!! :lol:
