Any of you out there running the test pipe from LCE? I'm thinking that I'll pull my cat and run that for a while and then just put my cat back in when it comes time for emissions. It'll be cheaper than buying a new cat.

Thoughts?

i suggest you move somewhere with out emissions.

thats a lot more work then a test pipe..

kinzer

haha, ya im just messin, although thats what i did. i just welded in a pipe and eventually did a full system without a cat but i lived in nor cal where you only had to smog when you sold or bought a vehicle. ya id reccomend the test pipe, although its probably alot cheaper to go to an exhaust shop and have them make one, i made one in 20 minutes. its just a pipe and flanges.

I made one at home for like $20 for my dads truck. I wouldnt buy one. Especially not from LCE. Bring the vaseline.

Ebay has a ton of test pipes from $9 and up..

Or a muffler shop has to be cheaper then $75..

kinzer

thomas dont try and pull that bs! your dad got the parts and i welded it.

caught you red handed!

What part of norcal did you live in? Smog's are required every two years...

Junkers...taking the cat out will most likely throw a CEL code, do you have an O2 sensor behind the cat?

Junkers88

No O2 behind the cat that I can find, just the one in front.

kinzer

no o2 behind means no cel, i lived in humboldt, arcata. we only smog'd when buying or selling your vehicle. maybe 2 years now idk

Maybe I should clarify that for bob.

I have a cat, it works but they tend to get stolen. I was planning on running a test pipe between emissions tests. That way I don't have some crack head stealing my cat. Make sense?
