I don't understand... I went to my local "good-ole-boys" muffler shop in my town and had a high flow cat welded in and never had a CEL. It cost me a whole $150

 

It's that pesky federal law that says if a vehicle is manufactured as a Cali emissions, it must stay a Cali emission vehicle.

I tried to find a good-ole-boy up here (in Alaska where the only place with smog checking is Anchorage) and the shop said no dice, they won't break the law.

Yeah here in SC we do not YET have emissions inspections as our politics are still driving them out slowly but surely I expect us to have them.
