hey they still do a visual inspection on emissions right, i want to get rid of my cat

4/7/2006 3:19:40 PM

on what year car?

and they should look for a cat no matter what

4/7/2006 3:31:07 PM

well run a pipe straight thru it then, it'll still "be there" but not really

4/7/2006 3:31:55 PM

well i think its about to die, and didnt know if i had to replace it with a gutted cat or if i could just run a straight pipe

4/7/2006 3:33:11 PM

i dont know of many places that check all that emission shit on pre 95 vehicles now, i sure as hell don't

4/7/2006 3:41:34 PM

i meant they are just supposed to glance under and see if you have your cat. i haven't ever had my emissions checked on a pre 96 vehicle.

and now everything 96 and newer is computer crap

4/7/2006 3:58:55 PM

i know there are no emissions, i just didnt know about visual

4/7/2006 4:00:20 PM

yes, it is a visual inspection for all 95 and older vehicles.

4/7/2006 6:13:52 PM

just gut the cat and weld your test pipe through it, then you still pass visual

4/7/2006 6:28:25 PM

hey jeff, i dont know if you remember, but umm..

I WORK AT A FUCKING MECHANIC SHOP SIR.

4/7/2006 8:32:08 PM

yeth

i wuth wondering abouthat

4/7/2006 9:19:16 PM

ahaha I gutted my catalitic converters out of my pipe, so it looks like they are still there. However, the shop that did my inspection didnt even look under the car . I did get failed for a turn signal bulb being burnt out however.

hell, just get the cat hot as hell. then spray it with water and beat the hell outta it with a mallet.

4/8/2006 10:40:05 PM

so... whats the best way to gut a cat

4/8/2006 10:49:05 PM

^^ always worked for me.

4/8/2006 11:17:18 PM

wont beating it with a mallet crush the thing? or are you just trying to beat it hard enough to dislodge the crap

4/9/2006 12:16:06 AM

the latter

4/9/2006 1:06:32 AM

so how should i get it hot

4/9/2006 1:15:36 AM

bake it

4/9/2006 2:18:58 AM

no need to take it off the car at all. just drive hard for about 10 min. spray it good with cold water then proceed to beat with a mallet or hammer like you would your dick. ya know, hard enough to get the job done without destroying the thing.

4/9/2006 10:19:22 AM

you cant just beat the casing and expect the cat to get gutted.

you gotta have to break up all the platinum bullshit in the cat. witha BFH and some kinda chisel/pick or something

4/9/2006 1:09:58 PM

PLATINUM?!?!?

MAKE ME A GRILLLLLLL

4/9/2006 1:11:07 PM

make you a what..???

yuh-yuh grill

4/9/2006 1:12:05 PM

so i just get all that shit out and then put it back on?

4/9/2006 4:04:39 PM

yeah mane

thats what keep your powR in check

plus your shit will be loud

but that may or may not be good

on the miata....i have no muffler...but i rock the cat cuz it sounds wicked

plus i can help the environment!!1

4/9/2006 6:24:16 PM

The place I go I've never seen them look underneath. They just toot the horn and check the lights. But it's not near here

4/9/2006 6:51:46 PM

i just want something cheaper than a new cat (if i gain a hp or two, well thats nice too)

but i dont want to kill my muffler and i dont want some nasty loud shit

4/9/2006 9:11:38 PM

loudER

what car is this?

you probably wont even pick up one hp though

perhaps a fraction or something

and i never had a problem with my muffer

4/9/2006 9:35:39 PM

bmw 325es
its wouldnt be for powR, just a cheap fix if it does die (im not sure if it will, i havent ever smelled anything again)

go to henry's if your cat needs replacement. he sells a catco hi-flo cat for $100. or you can go to phantasm (or order one) and get a test pipe that fits in place of the cat.

yeah, probably not so with new shit but all the old junk i've owned i've always beat the hell outta it. it would rattle like hell for a couple of days but eventually blew out all the shit.

4/9/2006 10:31:46 PM

yeah i was gonna just do a test pipe, thats why i was asking if there was still a visual

4/9/2006 10:46:06 PM

just throw a cherry bomb on there
