yeah! i read a mag a few month ago, it said put a test pipe(which i have no idea what is that!) instead of a cat. converter. but, i went to various car shops, they all donno what the heck the test pipe is..... so, anyone please tell me what that is, thx!

It is a pipe made to the same length as your catalytic converter and it replaces it in the exhaust path.

it's also very illegal so it may be hard to find a place that would put it on

While on the Cat. issue, are High-Flow Cats legal? I live in VA for any of those who are familiar with our local laws? What is the best brand high-flow cat?

oh, yeah! i was thinking about a high flow cat. too, but i don't know if it is legal.

High flow cats are legal for 95 and older vehicles. In 96 (obdII) they started scrubbing NoX with the cats as well. The High flows don't scrub for NoX.
