Anyone with emissions doing this.... Well I live in CT. Therefore hippies want us to get emissions. I want headers of course, and a Y pipe...I have two cats on my 97' and would like at least 1 if I HAVE no choice, but I was thinking this to myself tonight. Someone has probably already done this but I was wondering...
If you got a ORY, got it installed along with the headers, could you flange the end of the ORY so you could fab up a piece of flanged pipe to slip into where the cat would be while the car doesnt need emissions. The cat would also be flanged so you could slip it in when you had to go for emissions.
Of course I would need to get a tune to get the SES for the cats deleted.
Or my second (hopefully original) idea was...
Just install the y pipe, and cut the cat in half, from top to bottom and put a hinge on it with a lock type thing on the opposite side so I could slip it over the Y pipe to give the look of a cat being there. Wouldnt have to take it off and if a cop pulled me over for whatever reason and looked under the car hed see a cat.

One thing, you shouldn't need to do a sniffer test. OBDII testing is just a DLC hookup to see if there are no codes. Atleast that's how it is here.
We used to take Cats, gut them, weld in a straight section to they "look" like they are there, but it still performed nice. We even took a Y-pipe, cut 2 Cats apart, and welded them on the Y-pipe and made it look like they were welded in. The car didn't need a Sniffer Test, but it looked good. 
Here in Arkansas we don't need anything, but if I get stationed anywhere else that needs a visual, I am doing that, or keeping the Arkansas plates. 95 and back barely gets sniffed anywhere, it will look real good too with my 2007 Engine in it that doesn't even come factory with EGR either.
