Two reasons:
1) I do NOT have the time or desire to argue with people that talk out of their rear. By coming on STRONG, I keep "most" of those people away.

2) I have very little patience for people that don't think things out.

I figure that about 50lbs of Valium would bring me down to level of most people.
That's okay, I'd rather stay where I am - HYPER, WHAT ME HYPER? YOU CAN'T HANDLE HYPER!

Back to tech, take your time removing the headers. Keep your energy for throwing stuff when you TRY to get the headers and spark plugs back in. I suggest that you avoid throwing stuff at the car. Otherwise, when you have your hand inside the engine bay, the coil wire will attach itself to your brain and the car will start to crank. I hate when that happens!

That is something that a person would really need to ask the local inspector about. Mine did pass visual with a 2 cat BBK H-pipe.

I inspect cars here in North Carolina. Technically, Daggar is right, the inspector should be looking for FOUR converters. I doubt the law for converters varies much state to state. However, 95% of inspectors (myself included) will often just look for converters, and when the converters are found, it's good to go. Almost all places around here will not check the book for the number of converters on a vehicle. As long as some are in place. Hell I'm not even sure the emissions book gives the number of converters now that I think about it.

as mentioned, # of cats makes no difference if you have a carb exempted magnaflow x pipe, they have two cats, and it's perfectly legal with that carb #.
