So i went to get my emissions test today and on the report it said for catalytic converter ref; egr flow, heated o2, and o2 all not ready. I know i had some issues with my exhaust because the pipes were all getting corroded so i had bought an o/r h pipe and american thunder flowmaster kit bc i didnt want stock. My question is if i get rid of my cats isnt it still going to say "not ready" under catalytic converter efficiency?

If get rid of your cats itll read its ready after your drive cycle but youll throw codes unless you get or make mil eliminators.

I've had homemade mil eliminators on my car for a couple years now. Never a problem with them. I had some o2 extensions, so I just wired it into those and then just plugged them in.

You know, as a transplanted Yankee I must admit it is hot and humid as a fresh crap down here in Florida--a bit over 90°F and 86% RH right now.

However the lack of snow, ice, and salted roads; and vehicle inspections makes it worth putting up with...

You can also get already made mil eliminators from American muscle I have an o/r x pipe and I bought them from there instead of going through the trouble of making them. They are very convenient they plug right in to your o2 sensors and bypass the codes

yeah for 70 bucks. i'd rather take 10 minutes and 10 dollars of my life and make some from radio shack than buy those and wait 2 days to get em (no offence AM lol). 70 bucks is halfway to a handheld and you can disable your emissions all together.
