I have a RS*R catless downpipe, and lately Ive been thinking about getting a catted one, since I really do not want to go through the trouble of changing it when smog time comes and Im really tired of cops looking at me when the smell of gas is going around.
My question is, will I get the same amount of power from a catted downpipe, and will I still be able to pass smog with a bellmouth catted DP?

Thanks.
No that's why people run catless because of the power difference. Get a quiet catback and u should be fine. It's also not hard at all to put a stick down pipe back on.
You will generally get more power from a catless downpipe compared to a high-flow catted downpipe. The difference should be negligible at stage 2 power levels. But since you are concerned about the raw fuel smell attracting police attention, you should go catted.
All downpipes are illegal, even catted ones. Though catted downpipes will usually pass the sniffer, they won't pass visual... unless you go to a shop where the smog techs are lax.
