North of the border here, anyone one who will pay for the cat removal will get it done, that what happens when you're one tenth of the population of your southern neighbors.

I do believe having cats is a federal law, which is why ALL new cars come w/ them. Not every state or county requires emissions testing which is why some people can get away w/ it and say it doesn't matter. The difference w/ and w/o cats is 5rwhp or less, so go w/ whatever you can for your area. Mufflers and headers will not cause any problems in most cases, just your choice in mid-pipe.

I believe the cats are federal requirement but the way of testing for them varies, some areas are visual and others are sniffer test.

ORIGINAL: 93 LX FiveO

^^ not true

its more of a county thing than state

lots of counties in MD dont require cats

its really all about where you live and how strict they are

when i lived in NH couple years ago i didnt even need mufflers and the shop inspector even recommended taking them off and running straight pipes
^^ hit it right on the head there.

I would put it on yourself, ford91mustang.
