So i have been told something different from every shop i've talked to now and am getting a little fed up...
So some shops have told me that i wont need to buy a new catalytic converter Others say they will inspect it and see And the rest tell me i will HAVE to have a new one So for anyone who has done an exhaust system if you could give me your two cents on the matter it would be really appreciated:) car is in perfect running shape, and has 90xxx miles on it... -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

Ok, it didn't take me long to find and I recommend everyone take a look at this good read*. What I've been trying to say, and I admit I may have not worded it very well. The difference between a de-cat test pipe and an aftermarket cat is only 1hp. You'll see good gains from either one over stock. 1 extra hp just doesn't seem worth it to me, I don't want to have to change it out everytime I want to pass emissions. If my friends can pass with their SR 240s then I'm sure it's possible, it just depends on what state you live in and if you're willing to put up with the possible headache.
