Hey everyone, I have a 5.0, sorry but its a Thunderbird. Its a 91. well anyways, I just put in a flowmaster catback system, but I have to take it for inspection this week and I had to remove the resonator. Do i need a resonator to pass inspection in NJ?

resinator or converter? If you have no converters you will not pass, you dont need resinators though!

Yea i think you should be ok, as long as the cats are there and you pass the sniffer they dont care much about the exhaust.
