Yeah that's actually a good idea. I mean, I could even put the cat in the car to show the guys. And if worst comes to worst, I could perhaps pay those guys to put the cat back on and pay them again to take it off. I'm not doing it again.

Jeremy I just checked the link , motor and head is sold. But I am truly looking to start with all new. Something like a motor build I am not sure I would feel very comfortable buying used at this point , not knowing the history of the motor.

Plus like I said I will use this as an oppurtunity to do a full out build tranny and transfer case as well. So if it takes 6 months or 2 years it really dont matter. Dont get me wrong the thought of a summer without racing the Evo is still a little bothersome but in the end it will pay off, and the potential will be whatever I want out of it

The 30R is starting to look like a real small turbo

Boooo. Well, if anyone is planning the journey to the best auto show in the country on the 18th of this month, please PM me. It would be a blast to drive up to Detroit with other Evos .

Here is the story......Yes I can inspect the car.... Yes it would pass obdII as long as the drive cycles are met.....Last the fine if a trooper or under cover checks your car is 5000.00 fine plus loss of inspection license.......Its just easier to put the cat back on for a few hours........

5 grand? my lord.

is that the same fine for high flow cats that claim to be 49 state legal as well?

or is that one of those things that i would have to prove to them?

A cat is cat,,, high flow low flow, etc.... The way a trooper checks is by temp....As far as I care, a high flow cat is legal....And yes I pass the car with high flow cats....

So in all reality Mike, a gutted cat would also be okay??? Most Hiflow's still cause CEL's anyhow, so it really wouldn't be any different.

Lets put it this way. I dont go out of my way to check if they are there or not.....If its gutted out, I know nothing.........I do a visual inspection by state law.. If it apears to be there,,, then it is.....

Exemptions

If the car is driven under 5000 miles a year, it can have a check engine light on , no cat...no exhaust... etc , it still passes as a exempt car... I only know one guy that has an evo but hardly drives it ...
