Dont the cat cut dwn on sme of the sound?

 

Yes it does, a noticeable amount.

 

its illegal to remove the cat in any state. only reason y theres ppl who can get away with it is because some states dont have smog checks

 

In case you want to make a list....
In a lot of states it's illegal to run without a front license plate where required.
It's also illegal to speed, blow through a red light, blow a stop sign, have a cracked/impaired windshield, have too loud of an exhaust, weave in and out of traffic...
Who here hasn't broken the law yet?......Anybody?

 

oh hell i never said its a horrible law to break. he just asked if it was illegal. i mean crap if i didnt have to smog my camaro i wouldnt have cats on. but all the same

 

i only ask because i want to be able to pass inspection, i dont know about smog checks in VA, i dont think there are any. I guess i will just go with the magnaflow cat.

 

Im gna cut mine off and just worry bout it later. Hopefully tennessee dont have any. Doubt it will be that loud, but im gona find out.

 

Make is easily replaceable? Thats what I would do AKA a piece of pipe the flanges or w/e on it and the cat, just put the cat on for inspection the take it off afterwords

 

Livin' in the DC area, bashgod could end up getting tarred and feathered then run out of town on a rail if caught....

I used to live in Fredericksburg, the smog laws differ by county in VA. They were moving towards a sniffer check on all vehicles before I left. I know at the time in Spotsylvania where I lived it changed to a visual inspection for presence of components if your vehicle was over 25 years old.

The best way to find out is to call a local vehicle inspection provider and ask for the inspection criteria for your year and and vehicle type. They'll give you a totally accurate answer.

There is one semi legal way to pull all your emissions equipment in VA, if you register your vehicle as an "antique" and get an antique vehicle plate, you are exempt from inspection. the down side of the Antique vehicle registration is that you are only supposed to operate the vehicle on public roadways to transport it to shows.

Of course, they have know way of knowing when and where car shows are....

I personally plan to keep my emissions equipment on and go the high flow Cat route, just so I don't have to worry every time I go through inspection.

 

like wise bowtie. compared to my jeep the camaro already sounds better and is much faster. the high flow cat will suffice along with the new headers and exhaust.
