Default Emissions question

The mods of my car are in my Sig. I need to pass PA state emissions. Will installing cats work? What is the best way to install cats just for the emissions testing? any help or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Do you have headers? the easiest thing to do if you have stock manifolds would be to bolt the OEM cats back up. Their really isnt a way to install them for the emmission testing unless you know a slack show that wont pay close attention but due to fines that can be recieved the majority of shops are goin to look for those kinds of things especially with your car

Find a hole in the wall and buy them lunch. Heck, just show up with it around 11:30.

It is computer controlled, they hook the car up to a computer. I don't have headers and would be all about hookin the factory cats back up... except the previous owner just chopped them off with a sawzaw so I don't have them.

Get some old ones and have them split in half. Weld them on over part of the ORY.
