This guy claims that he used this gas conditioner and passed emissions testing with no cats on his wrx.

...what else does it do to my engine while it's in there though?

 

All I know is what that guy said and the info on the website.

It may work in Tennesee, but we live in the land of smog ****'s. No way that would work here.

 

Yeah, that bottle wont pass the visual inspection.

 

this is TOTAL bs, theres is nothing you can add to your gas to convert the amount of NoX/CO/HCs an engine produces without a 3-way cat, it just doesnt work that way.

 

Well.....

Actually, it is quite possible to change your emissions numbers with different fuels. For instance, large amounts of alcohol would, in fact, reduce HC emissions quite a bit.

I suspect the product linked is, in fact, mostly (very overpriced) ethanol.

That said, you wouldn't want to run your car on it for very long! And I wouldn't be making any claims about passing the CA tailpipe test without cats while running the stuff either

 

yes, asa matter of fact additives are already put in your gas to reduce emmisions, not anywhere even close to how much a cat does, I was just reading an article where by our new LEV standards, a new car puts out 90 times less emmisions than a pre 1974 car. cats make a HUGE difference

 

That's pretty much the claims made by all of the other gasoline cleaner additives such as Chevron Techron™. I don't think this stuff is anything to get excited over, although I'd like to see something like a super high-flow cat in the future.
