I would go without a cat. Once a year when you need to do inspesctions I would just install one that would fit. It would only be on there for about an hour right??

Mine's short haired and white.


Seriously though, if you can do it go with none. My e-check place didn't even do visual, so... :: shrug ::

I was thinking about that too! Is it really loud or no? I live in NJ so if i go to the state inspection center i would need one for sure, that is if the motor will even pass! I also have other ways around it too so it wouldn't be too big of a deal.

Gut a cat and put a straight pipe through it. Looks like a functioning cat.
