LOL

It just surprised me that Q would say that though....

So when you get these ordered this morning, ask him how long its going to take to send out. I know that at least 4 have paid already so you are at least #5. They should be shipping out by friday.

Will do

You're just soooo stuck on getting these that you don't care what you say huh?

Can I replace the OEM catalytic converter on my car with a "high flow" catalytic converter?

The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emissions reduction of a motor vehicle. The vehicle manufacturer has matched a specific catalytic converter to the vehicle to minimize emissions output. Both CARB and the EPA do not allow the replacement of a catalytic converter with non-exempt "high flow" performance replacement unit. In fact, it is technically not legal to even replace a converter unless it has been proven by technician to have failed, and then it can only be replaced with an exempt OEM equivalent unit. (However, enforcement of this requirement is almost non-existent and is the primary loop-hole that allows the usage of so-called "high flow" catalytic converters. Many of these units are sold with the disclaimer as being a "race" component and are not intended for street use.) Due to the hundreds of vehicle models produced over the years, it is virtually impossible to determine by glancing under a car whether the converter is the original unit, a legal OEM replacement, or a non-legal aftermarket "high flow" performance unit. Unless CARB or the EPA decide to take more aggressive enforcement action, the installation and usage of these non-exempt "high flow" catalytic converters will likely continue.

Its not that. I understand the laws. When deciding between HFC and test pipes I choose to go with the emission reducing choice. As long as my car stays SMOG legal, I really don't give a ship about anything else. If its reducing emissions and staying legal, then why do you give a rats ***?

I like high-flow cats over test pipes. Don't get me wrong, but you make it sound like Q was totally off his rocker by saying what he did.

I think the problem is that most of the guys don't realize how many of these mods are not legal because of CARB and EPA.

Again, not busting your balls for taking the better path, just clarifying that Q wasn't making erroneous claims (not sure if it's a felony, misdemeanor or just an infraction, probably all 3 hahaha).

[tollboothwilley]

No...the problem was that Q was suggesting that for me finding a better deal on a product that i am creating a crime. Nothing I have done is criminal.

CARB legalities have no bearing on my life. I dont live in CA anymore. All I care is that I am legal where I'm at...which is why I went with HFC.

Now, installation, etc, thats different. but he said

Is promoting a Group Buy not a Conspiracy to further a Felony?.... Please understand what you might be getting into if you are caught.

That is an erroneous statement to be sure. That is the only part of what he is saying that I'm disagreeing with.

So is speeding!

OK, I just paid the man and he said he was waiting on one more and will call me or email me to let me know when he is charging my card.

[tollboothwilley]

um, i'm gonna call him. that should be 5
