On an '03 you should have a total of 4, two near the manifolds, and two oxidizing cats underneath the seats.

John
I have the 2 underneath the manifolds but the ones underneath the seats I dont have. Wonder how much power I have with me not having them.

how are you guys saying you have or had 6 cats?? Because in my understanding thats WRONG. In my car i had 4 cats and 2 resinators, but now that I got my x-pipe i now only have 2 cats.

hehe nice, how do you guys deal with emissions testing?
i passed the obd2 scan w/ no probs b/c i have MIL eliminators, but the guy could've failed me if he wanted to.....but he said my car sounded good, so he wasn't gonna look under it

Make friends with a private inspection garage, slip him a $50 every 2-4 years whenever your car is due for inspection and on you keep rolling. I guess you could say I made pretty good friends with my inspection garage... In 2 days he is putting on my Long Tube headers and o/r X pipe.... which in NJ is COMPLETELY illegal. [8D]

hmm... the one by me all the guys who work there are old asian guys who don't really do much except the tail pipe and stuff. So in theory I could get by w/o cats if I keep that MIL off... hmm


I'm just gonna go with a catted midpipe. 2 is better than 6

like i said yellowcobra its only up to 01 or 00 ...u have an 03/04...so there u go...it also depends if the car was built specifically for CA emissions....like mine wsa and thats why i have three cats on each pipe which is 6 total.
