FINALLY! new exhaust
Friday, August 26, 2005 3:43 PM
Well Today I went to a reccomended exhaust place in Chula Vista. And they put together my exhaust.

high flow cat. 2.25 piping to a 25 inch resonator and a cheapo muffler.

sounds even better than I thought it would. I'm pretty damn happy with it, now all's I need is a header and some header back piping.



Forever a work in Progress

Since when has there been a legal hi-flo cat for a Cavi?

a catalytic converter is a catalytic converter in the eyes of the emissions world MOST of the time. Whenever you get an inspection, they check to make sure the vehicle has a cat installed (if the vehicle was manufactured from 1981-present)... and if not then you won't pass. But as far as OEM or aftermarket... they really don't care.

That's not true at all in my experience. I bought my Cavi it had an illegal cat. I took it around to smog shops to see if any of them would notice it (I asked them if my header was illegal) and got "header and cat are illegal" each and every time.

I replaced it premptively because cops in my town impound your car for the max 30 days if they find any illegal equipment on it.

It's not for us. If you go to the CARB website, it's not listed for 2.4 use.
