    Yeah, I'm all for emissions testing (done right), but if you have that it's hard to justify not having a safety inspection.


    +1 for not wanting a car that smells like raw gas, but anyone whose followed my build would know that anyway haha.

      Wow I'm glad others are fond of cats too! I made sure to put cats on when i re-did my exhaust, even with the added cost. #threadjacked. Sorry sick88tbird! If you can, post up your findings with the new system when you put it in

          My fury doesn't have cats and that's the only car I'll tolerate that with. After putting a dual cat-less exhaust on my 85 LTD I said never again. All it would take is one traffic light at high idle and I'd smell like hydrocarbons all day. No thanks.

            C'mon guys! That's the smell of horsepower! Lol. I actually haven't had a problem unless standing behind any of my cars, and this is the first with tailpipes! Lol
