say you put like 6 together, wouldnt that make almost anything smog legal?

 

If I say yes, will you try it?

 

i might try it anyways, but i dont have a car that would fail otherwise...hmm, ill see if i can get some free used stock cats from h-t members.

anyone know for sure though?

 

I think you would end up with a very emissions friendly vehicle, however it would take forever to for all the cats to warm up, and your horsepower would greatly suffer (like you haven't already figured on that happening)

 

it would only be for emissions day...

 

what happens if you fail ?? (im from florida and we dont have thoughd days here )

 

doesnt everyone have to pass emissions
i was referrig to the day on which i went to get them done

No, I'm from North Carolina and keep my car registered there, I've never had to get anything checked for emissions. But we do have state vehicle inspections, on the other hand they aren't hard to pass so nevermind.

 

u dont have tog et emissions to renew your plates? intersting...

anyways, if anyone wants to donate any kind of civic or integra cat and i would also need a 92 civic HB stock exhaust i can weld and would just hack it up and put the cats in, i will attempt this project and give results...

thanks

 

anyone want to help?

A lot of places around our area (NOVA) don't either ie:King George, Sposty, Caroline.

 

donate...

 

nope everytime ive taken any of my cars to get inspected they dont check emissions

 

Find a shop that will pass you or a friend who can just get the stickers and slap them on. Money talks BS walks

Too restrictive. Also, a cat needs to warm up. A WRX has 3 of them. I think 3 will suffice at most.

Depends on what part of NC you are in. Some counties do emissions checks. Wake county is now doing obd-2 checks as well.

 

not about performance here, just to pass smog.

 

My friend actually did this to pass his state ref ticket. He first went in with a jdm 4-1 header with 1 cat. He didnt pass emission but passed visuals. When he went back he had 2 cats with the jdm header and he didnt pass visuals. So for the final one he went back with stock usdm header and 3 cats and passed with flying colors. I doubt that you will need 6. 3-4 with a stock header should be good enough.

 

sounds a bit excessive, one new cat and turning down fuel pressure should do it

with a high compression na motor or a built turbo one, i dont think so

its for those motors that i wanna try this experiment

 

a well tuned engine will pass with one cat, on a high comp. engine timing gears would help on NoX scavenging exhaust to intake to reduce those high combustion temperatures.
