TA Exhaust and Emissions I've been reading these forums for a while as I've been searching for a used '02 TA almost all summer and have come to a point where I need some advice concerning exhaust. I live in Colorado and we have emission regulations in the county I live in near Denver. I didn't realize how hard it would be to find a stock exhaust on a manual car under $15,000 with 50-75k miles. The most recent one I found in Wyoming has Hooker LT headers with no cats. Otherwise the car is practically exactly what I'm looking for. So my question is, what would it take to have a shop install cats? Would I have to find an original exhaust? Would welding in cats be enough to pass emissions? I'm not a mechanic by any means and know little outside of general maintenance, but the back half of the exhaust is stock supposedly. Anyone have a good idea of what it will take or any shops around Denver I could get in touch with? Thanks!
