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

96-98 GT's come with a 6 cat h-pipe.... All bad, if you want to replace.

Couldn't pass with catted x pipe. Stock heads, cams, and headers on 04 Cobra.

Couldn't pass bc of asshole tech? Or...?

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...
