I am in PA and we do not have smog testing yet so that is not an issue. I just wanted to get some feed back from anyone who has already done this. Are you happy with it? Does it cause any problems with not having proper back pressure? Did you gain better gas mileage? Anything I should be aware off?? Thank you Alan H >> Alan, I don't know what county your in, but here in Montgomery, we have emissions, and I know that they are planning to convert the entire state to emissions testing. You may want to check around the legalities of that. It would suck if you did that now, and in 2 years had to replace it again with a stock cat. Just an opinion though. --Paul-- |
