I thought that as long as the car passes it doesn't matter what's missing. I could be wrong though.Originally posted by mrltdGetting the rest of the exhaust done friday :banana:

Same here. Just the headers and H-pipe. Not too loud. (at least for the 5 minute drives I've taken it on.
As for the emissions, it can fail the visual inspection. There is no air pump, and at the moment no cats. Gonna get those put on also. Was much cheaper to get an off road h-pipe and cats seperately. My old 87 did pass without most of the emissions devices. Fast passed Md inspection and then put down 200hp on EIP's dyno.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born.
