That's what I did. You still need someone to fudge your inspection for you though. Or throw the stock cat on for inspection.

I still want a cat just so I dont smell like gas. I dont have a/c so the windows will be down a lot. So I guess my question would be, DO I get a stock cat or do I order one of summit racing or something. If I do order one are there any that are better to get?

You cant go wrong with an inexpensive Magnaflow cat from Summit Racing... They are excellent.

test pipes are more expensive than cats, unless you make one.
