@dm_n_stuffThank you, I stand corrected. I was looking for s silver lining in the clouds, but I goofed. I think a high flow cat would help to pass an emissions test(?) but still would not allow the sale .
@dm_n_stuffThank you. I see this sort of thing a lot in my car club and while I understand the desire for performance, those catalytic converters are there for a reason. It might be worth noting that there are high-flow cats on the market that are the best of both worlds so to speak. The more you know....
@amge63swagonI appreciate that but if the car is in Texas, selling or offering to sell with any part that would circumvent an emission control system is prohibited. By law, the car must have the proper factory emissions equipment or equivalent installed. The only exceptions would be cars that are for off-road use only, or of course older cars that were originally manufactured without catalytic converters. Hopefully the MB Market is aware of this.
ariotofmyown, sumofall I live in Texas and the statute reads as follows: The notice shall read, "State law prohibits [any person] from selling, offering for sale, leasing, or offering to lease any vehicle not equipped with all emission control systems or devices in good operable condition. Violators are subject to penalties under the TCAA of up to $25,000 per violation. "https://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=R&app=9&p_dir=&p_rloc=&p_tloc=&p_ploc=&pg=1&p_tac=&ti=30&pt=1&ch=114&rl=20#:~:text=The%20notice%20shall%20read%2C%20%22State,devices%20in%20good%20operable%20condition.
Sorry for my ignorance, and I may not be understanding correctly but does having a "cat simulator" mean that the catalytic converter has been removed? It is illegal in the State of Texas to sell or offer for sale a vehicle that has had the emissions tampered with so hopefully that is not the case here. Can you clarify?
