Cat y Pipe, emmisions?
This may be a dumb question but would switching out the stalk for a cat Y pipe make me not pass emissions becaouse the Y pipe doesnt have the Pre cats.
Thanks

Warm your car up. Get it up to operating temp then drive it hard. A few spirited runs should do. Find freeway onramps and see how fast you can (safely) get to 70mph...that sort of thing. Then, take the car to get tested but DO NOT turn the car off. Don't let it idle for very long either. Get it in as fast as possible. You should be fine then.

With most testing now if the car is OBD2 they just plug into the computer to make sure it has no codes, and check with a mirror to make sure you have a cat. All 4 gens are OBD2 so you should be ok. I passed with a turbo and a factory cat with no prob. In Cali. the Natzis run the DMV and I don't know their rules.
