Most cars pass with catted midpipes. Ive known of quite a bit of people to pass with longtubes and cats too.(Obviously) over looking a visual inspection

Reason is the newer cars aren't allowed the pollution percentages that the older cars emit. Therefore they load them up with 4-6 cats to get them to pass the allowed emmisions... [ February 16, 2012, 05:47 AM: Message edited by: HaulinAss Motorsports ]
