Emission testing Hello all, just a question about E-test.
Car is a '98 TA, Ls1, 330,000km. Currently have OBX-R headers, and off road Y pipe.
Car is a bolt on car (FAST intake, Headers, Lid etc, also has been tuned by Arun).
What cats would be best to get me a pass out of this thing, I have been looking and found Magnaflow Bullets for around $125.00 each, and then Ive found E.M cats through a supplier at work here for $50.00 each, Id rather spend a little more and get a pass then dick around with garbage parts.
Any insight?

I have SLP high flows..I would stay away if I was you if you want to pass emissions. I have a decent tune, I think I may run a little rich but I have a hard time passing every time. I fail the drive portion but idling is fine
If you are looking, I have a set of Magnaflo cats for sale, brand new still in the box $180 for the pair.

[/IMG]Not out by much but I`ve done some research and I guess the SLP hi flow cats can`t filter out the exhaust so . . .I`m looking into some heavy metal Magnaflows 3x8.75 should do the trick right ??
Seeing your results, there is no doubt Methyl Hydrate will work for you.
Just put a jug (about 4L) of Methyl Hydrate to a 1/4 tank of gas and go for your etest again.

But I might go for a more permanent soloution and buy some Magnaflows I was looking at PN # 59559 3x9.75 should fit right ??
The magnaflow 3x9.75 should fit.
Good luck and keep us posted.
