catted magnaflow X here.. not worried about emissions at all.. if you are scared keep your stock H and bolt it back on right before the test.. no biggie.. It will pass the sniffer fine with the catted Magnaflow X.. you just won't pass the visual at half the smog places since their book says 4 cats and the magnaflow has 2.01GTPony said:I live in cali so i'm thinking i'll save myself the trouble of fines, fix its, failed smogs, cop hassling...etc and stick with the stock H-pipe.I do however want a cat-back that will turn heads. I was thinking about getting the magnaflow catback w/ magnapacks. What do u guys think I should do? Also some advice on the whole midpipe situation...I think theres a law now that the catts must be factory to pass smog.
easy to find a shop that will pass the car as long as it passes the sniffer.. there are plenty of gas stations with workers with aftermarket pipes/illegal o/r pipes in CA.bdcardinal said:its a h pipe that has 2 catalytic converters on it. they arent legal in CA because they only have 2 cats on them. CA law for 96+ cars is that you must use OEM cats. so since stangs usually have 4 cats, you need to have 4 cats.
Not so easy anymore since they passed the new emissions law in California. You now have to put your car on a dyno machine and most of those little gas stations stopped doing smog's because they couldn't afford the new machine to do the dyno test on your car. So a lot of those shops that were doing smog's aren't doing them anymore, which means there are less places to choose from when the time comes to do your smog...I'm running 40 series flows with my stock h-pipe, no problems with smog testing, and the car sounds great. I love that old school muscle car sound. Unless your going to do a lot of other mods to your car, most exhaust systems aren't going to net you a whole lot more power. If your going to keep your stock h-pipe then go with the sound you like....wms004 said:easy to find a shop that will pass the car as long as it passes the sniffer.. there are plenty of gas stations with workers with aftermarket pipes/illegal o/r pipes in CA.
