Default will a OBX cat pass emission?

is this in the style of the catco/magnaflow cat, or just another damn resonator? i like the fact that i don't have to weld it, it's direct bolt-on....costing me slightly less and having the exact size i need

There should be no reason that the cat doesnt pass. If it cant pass a sniffer brand new then it shouldnt be called a cat.

NO, those "high flow cats", are just resonators. Look down them. They don't have any catalyst what-so-ever. It's just a perforated tube, ---&gt; resonator.


You would most likely fail an emissions test.

Yeah, I think the OBX "cat" is just a resonator.
