i picked up "hiFlo" cat, it was $60 and passed emissions fine...

You're still in Irvine? Do not get a catco then. It does not have the NOx scrubbers. I forget which brand that's a 3 way (with NOx scrubbers), I can however, verify that Catco's do not have the scrubbers from my own emissions woes about a year ago.

Immortal One - what brand and where did you get it? 180fan - did you used to live in irvine?

I use a Magnaflow "hi-flow" cat. I got it and installed it at the same time I installed my BRM exhaust. It's been working great for me.

I also live in TN, we don't have emissions tests, but I imagine It would help you out.

Nope not in Irvine, in Frisco just a bit of a ways up I5 from you lol. CA has the same emissions policy for NorCal as SoCal.

Emissions, hehe. I feel sorry for the **** you have to go through, oh wait you guys live in Cali where it is warm and you didn't have to shovel 3 feet of snow today.

180fan - heh im from sacto...and we went to frisco all the time before i moved here.

prodigy - haha...yeah..emissions sucks..but id rather live in cali than michigan where its colder than **** and as u said u gotta shovel snow.

[gabossie]

There is a slight difference actually. In socal, they make you put your car on a dyno roller and test the engine under load. Never had to do that back home.

[180fan]

Roller smog is the standard in the Bay Area. So SoCal's no different than NorCal except varied degrees of 5-0 Nazism.
