getting rid of cats?
 

ok like title says im getting rid of theese furniture wrecking flea bitten monsters, they piss on the floor and get hair all over my clothes...so who wants them?



no no jk. but ive been giving alot of though into getting a mid pipe/ test pipe (what ever you wanna call it i want my cat gone). easy and cheap enough to do. but what about getting it inspected? i know alot of guys here dont have them so what do yall do when it comes time? and since even without cats into not super loud i assume no cop trouble but if you have stories please share?

swap back to stock when inspection time comes..

i thought texas has no laws on catless cars

i wish

no that i know of, (will look into this)

In Texas we dont have the sniffer so as long as your not throwing a SES or code you will pass.

the cat is a federal mandate.
some states just don't enforce it much.

if you get the midpipe, you'll get a CEL unless you can mask it with something like an AP.
I'd suggest looking at a resonated pipe like BHR's so you won't attract too much attention

i live in houston, so if i get a midpipe get a AP and mask the cel i should be able to pass emissions?

I know of some chinese restaurants that are always adopting cats......

better yet i know a guy who will pass you the emissions ;) so you dont have to worry too much about it

I know when I was in pa and they did a safety inspection the inspection guy had to "see" a cat....yeah it could b gutted or whatever( i lived in a non emissions county) but they had to be able to see it....

I would keep the cat and just swap it back on for inspection!...

where Im at in PA they check for a CEL and sniff the gas cap luckily, no tailpipe test and they didnt put it on a lift just jacked up a corner removed 1 wheel to check brake pads, my old Talon loved it here :)

I may just get a test pipe and Mazda Maniac Cobb AP with the stock exhaust as well, Im not feeling a fart can for the 8, I like listening to the intake and being able to think or conversate in this car.

^Agreed, Id keep your cat and swap back if you need to.

^yeah....I had a "special" place I went ot for inspection but they are "supposed" to check that it's there! haha

well "suposedly" my bother in law knows a guy who will hook his personal car up to the emmision to test it. but if thats not true then it seems like alot of hassle. and yes texas had a very very strict emmissions law if your car isnt a 'classic'
