you get a little fu**ing note in the mail that has your vehicle info and stuff on it. If you blow it off you get another that is pink that says "final notice" and the state can legally suspend your liscense over it. It's all bull sh** if you ask me, because how many fu**ing semi trucks have I observed on the road that are blaring horrible emissions and they are gonna **** and moan over a few sports cars?

Well i could have gotten away with no cats at my emissions test because my can has dummy sensors that still allow the computer to tune the engine but it does not generate a code(they do plug-in tests), but they have a little mirror they slide under your car to see if you have cats or not. I guess i could have gone to the junkyard and bought and hollowed out some cats, cut them on one side, and put them over the pipes, but i needed the backpressure anyway, with my high-flow cats it runs much better than it did.

lol... my buddies live out in the boonies, no emissions. everyone there who has a custom car has no cats.
One auto instructor I had used to have a fox body stang with no cats, he had it registered to his grandma who lived way out where there was no emissions test so he was free to play with it.
w/e i don't have money/time enough to do heavy modding so emissions testing is O.K.

i am in nc and they just startet the sniff test this year. so now everyone who has suped up their mustang with no cats have to get a new h or x pipe with cats. I am lucky that i am really good friends with a dealership that sells a lot of mustangs so i can switch out legal or stock h pipes whenever i want

RE: How many cats is my car supposed to have?
thats weird. I live in northern VA and they just stopped the sniffer testing and have switched to the "plug and play." They plug a programmer into your ECU and see if there are any codes or problems. If so, passed. So all I had to do is buy MIL eliminators.
