Emmisions Testing Question
Hey Guys,
If i am running a 3" exhaust, no cat, and want to pass emmisions test in CT, do i need to put a stock cat on or a high flow? and will both of these bold right up to my exhaust where my test pipe is? Might be a dumb question but was curious.
Thanks!

Some places hook your car up to a little "dyno" and some use mirrors for visual checks. Some just wave you on through. Go check it out, and if you fail, you can come back.

I don't know about CT but i inspect vehicles up here in NH and i have to lift it in the air and check your Brakes, brake lines, Ball joints, fuel lines, and exhaust... if there's no cat it fails. but if all of that is okay then i hook it up to a NHOST machine that plugs into the OBD 2 port and it checks everything else out.

not having a cat is a felony, if your tester is "cool" they may let you go but you risk a hefty fine at the least.
i would never have anyone i don't know look under my car. i.e. i'd NEVER go through an emissions test/dealer checkup with no cat...

First off you would be stupid to go to any garage with out a cat. Some people will say its fine, and hope the emmissions tester doesn't look under the car...but if he does it won't be pretty for you.
Second we don't put cars on rollers anymore in CT or do a sniff test. All they check is your OBDII port to make sure you have no check engine light.....but the catch is it has to show no codes for 100miles so you can't just clear the code in the parking lot....they will know.
I have to go through the same bs this month so we will see what happens. Right now I have an aem, 1000cc injectors, and 280 cams so I guess I have a little work puting the car back to stock before I show up for my test.
