I want to say that I have an 85 Vanagon with a gutted cat and it not only passed emissions but it was way low in output. My Van has 177K with no known rebuilds. If your engine is running right, it will pass with or without the cat even being there at all. If it is not passing, look for the cause of the problem, not a way to mask it. --- Joe Romas <jromas@COLUMBUS.RR.COM> wrote: > One person suggested your cat may have been gutted. Mine has been too.
