Off road Y
I was lookin at pacesetter headers and was reading and wanted to know what "For Off Road Use Only" meant. Our cars are not made for off road but most people say to get the ORY over the regular pacesetter. What does it mean and that is the difference!

yes if you get an ory you can still use your magnaflow catback....all an ory is, is a ypipe with no catalytic converters....you are going to want to get a catted y if you are worried about emissions

The term "off road use only" is officially meant for vehicles being used for sport purposes (i.e. drag racing, auto-x), and not daily driving purposes. That's why the ORY has no cats, because its not meant to be street legal.

The federal law also says you can't replace cats unless they are malfunctioning or have over a certain number of miles on them (55K I believe but I'm not 100%). And finally you have to replace them with OEM cats so the high flow versions are a no-no
The states do however decide whether or not they have emissions tests. The states also decide if they just plug in a computer and look for codes or do a sniffer test as well. And states can decide whether they care to do any visual inspections.
Computer test is easy. 02 sensors and delete the ses codes and you're GTG with an ORY. Sniffer can be passed if you have decent high flow cats. But a visual means you're screwed.
That is until you find the one local guy that looks the other way for muscle cars. If you ask at a local drag strip you'll usually find such a guy. You may need to "tip" him but such is the world we live in
