I am not sure if that is true or not, but a few people told me without the pre warmers the cats dont work effectively. Haven't you gotten your car inspected since u got your x-pipe?

no, i got in on about a month ago. i have emissions every two years, i guess it depends on state. im prob gunna slap in the cat deletes soon anyway.

well from what i know, the cats just need to warm up to do their job. so before you go get emmissions done, let it idle for 20 minutes

Don't just let it idle, drive on the hwy for about 5 min. The cats will be extremely hot.

NO! I live in TX and I have had an o/r H for about 3 years now. I get no trouble about emissions. TX is probably one of the states that really doesn't care about emissions. I have had no problems whether I was living in Waco or here in Clifton

RE: X-pipe vs H-pipe

Thats weird cause i live around Houston and you cant pay people off to pass it around here so i plan i swapping them out right before i go and get it inspected.
