just hollowed out my cat awesome gains definitly noticable

 

 

No CEL?

 

unless ur cat was bad, i wouldnt have hollowed it out. $100 u can get an actual test pipe, gaskets and bolts. and still have ur stock cat just incase

 

i gutted my cat on my old accord and you could hear a rattle from it (and i know it was empty too, just bad harmonics)


and their are ways to fix that CEL

 

^not a secret. haha

 

alot cheaper to get a test pipe then getting a new cat for emissions purposes (umm, ummm.... gfrg88)

 

fixed above ^^

 

Fixed again

 

still had the edit button available when rajca posted

 

u cleared out platnium smart one, you could have simply removed the cat sold it and had a custom test pipe constructed for your car, better yet it would sound as bad

 

my cat was clogged and i wanted a test pipe with a stock look already have extra cat for inspections i used the spark plug non fouler tp keep the cel from coming on

 

u could have recylced it, made ur money and done things right, maybe ur just a baller that can afford to thow away something that is worth $70 per oz, no one looks under a car anyway especially if its lowered and the cel dosen't come on

 

Cops do.

 

not really here, unlike cali , but they do look under when you have to do your emmisions every two years

but even then the people who look underneth, are idiots, and only look under there with a mirror (that has a handle on it, so they don't have to bend over), so the heatshield proably would be sufficient to fool them into thinking that the cat is still there

 

They may be idiots, however you have to assume that they have been doing inspection jobs for years and years, and therefore they know what to look for. And Florida has no emissions test!

 

years, , they seem to have pretty high turnover (except for higher ups), and most people that they hire are like kids that are just out of high school (no pun intended), or basically people that there last job would of been at mcdonalds (but they do have the volumn/number that they see going for them though)


and i know no emissions down there (use to live there); and no front plate ethier

 

yip...i got ref'ed 4yrs ago for headers...a baller would go ahead n pay the $689 ticket...put the headers bak in...get a hi-flow cat...n go FI...

 

just got inspected with hollowed cat an passed inspection. nc checks the obd system intead of emmissions so they didnt know it was hollowed

 

bet no one looked under the car eventhough the exhaust stunk more

 

Al Gore would be very disappointed.

 

well he did his part in inventing the internet

 

haha nice, I don't understand why people do ghetto mods to nice cars

 

"ghetto mods" are apparently more cost effective

 

My DIY intake is ghetto tooo.

 

most DIY shits are ghetto


Atleast most of mine lol
