It would actually be against federal law, so yes, illegal in all 50 states.

Thanks guys, yea a test pipe isn't really an option for me and not really a performance enhancement since its all stock lol, but yea thanks I guess I'll just use the stock catalytic for now.

Yes I'm telling him to remove an emissions part making it illeagal. You guy are loco. Since when did anyone care about emissions? Are you guys joking? I can't believe the replies I'm getting. Also he just said he's been eyeing that magnaflow catback. And you guys are going all crazy about a test pipe. How many folks here got an intake? Crazies.

Installing an exhaust system, or intake is not illegal, unless in California, then it has to be C.A.R.B. approved. Maybe the OP is from CA and you telling him to remove the cat converter will screw him over next time the car comes in for an inspection. Every shop is different (across the US), some will say something, some won't. However, in the shops mind, they can charge you an arm and a leg for a replacement cat (plus the over head) and then the labor to install it, so I doubt they will just let it go. |

cat's help stop pollution coming from our cars. with the less-than-recent oil spill, you would think that people would be somewhat more concious of their decisions to pollute.
If you're building a high-hp car, don't go test pipe. Spend the couple hundred and get a high flow cat. and by the way... how does having an intake make your car pollute more? its basically the same thing as the stock intake, but without a box around the filter. I like my air clean. Lets try to keep it that way. :D |
I'm not against a test pipe or for it............But I'm pretty sure alot of people here have had a testpipe on their car one time or another for months on end. I know I know...a couple people are gonna say.."Well not me! I like my air Cleeeeean".
I'm just saying. IT IS illegal to have it on the car BUT it's also illegal to download about 95% of the music from the web(for free). People see it as illegal but they still do it...not because they're stupid..but because their chances of getting caught are pretty low when there's many other things for law enforcement to worry about. |
