I don't know where you are going for inspection but I've never had a visual inspection for the cats. I've talked to at least a dozen shops about this very subject and they all say they don't bother looking unless there is a code. The vast majority of shops (at least in the Philly area) just plug in and scan.
I just got caught for having no cats in Nazifornia, and now have to go to a state ref, the stock exhaust is so hard to find.
does that make your a Nazifornian!?! i think thats a new word LOL
ya theyre hard to find, but have you tried a junkyard?
i heard from my mechanic about his buddy who just got that same ticket, it was like 800 bucks
Wow, that sucks for you guys. When I get my car inspected, the guy tells me to turn the car off, checks the horn, lights, one brake pad, and signals. lol Even with my NO cat exhaust I pass with flying colors. Hell i've even passed with bad wipers telling the guy I was going to get them ASAP. :^D
