Exclamation Fake cat

http://www.frozenboost.com/product_i...04a9f3530288b7
I was wondering if any of you know of any other site that has them. I just bought the catless DP from Mike, and just in case I get checked by police, I want to get a fake one. I would still need to get the code tuned out, but I'm waiting for it to get reflashed

I have that same one but in 3" diameter. It works great. Not a bad deal for 40.00. If you are going to weld it to the DP you need a 3" diameter.

wouldn't you fail the emissions on your inspection?

sorry I don't know of any....yeah you shouldn't even worry about police going under your vehicle they are not emission controlers or exhaust inspectors.

this should take care of any check engine light problems. For me so far so good!! ;-)

Don't think any department protocol calls for inspecting cats - more concerned about the occupants.

We used to punch out the 80's MCSS cats like the website said.

I had a noise complaint and the cop came to my house and looked under my car... I was like Oooooooooo great! As he popped his head back up and looked at me he said: Must be aftermarket muffler huh? I was like uh yeah I bought it that way. I was thinking **Don't notice the cats** he was like alright just stay off the throttle huh. LMAO

Well the fake cat is just for visual inspections. I would fail emission testings, but once I get her tuned I'm gonna have Lew delete the code. So in the end I should be alright. If I still fail emissions, I am gonna put the factory DP on there and then switch it back out once it's done.
