Hey everyone. Would like some feedback on people who have bought DP with cat's, or people who know about this subject. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a DP with a cat or without one. Thanks!

 

how many miles are on the car?

what year is it?

 

It is a 03 wrx with 38k miles on it

 

no it wont you can replace it at 60k miles

you dont have to smog it for a while correct?

i have 98k on my 03

 

yeah i don't have to smog it for another 2 years. I was just wishing that I don't have to put the stock back on to smog it if the catted Dp would pass smog. Sometimes you just feel lazy. haahah

 

sniffer test-usually
visual-no

 

no, it's ok because his other cat failed and the ceramic chuncks starting flying out

btw living in this county (humboldt) we never have to smog a new car

 

you dont need to smog any new car in CA for 6 years

 

yeah but here it is never ever-ever, well as long as you live or have a residence here

 

Time to get a Po Box # up there.

 

hehe humboldt grrrrrrr

woah..its jeff.... Mr. MIA

 

aftermarket dp with cat still does not pass the visual inspection you will be failed
it has to be stock equipment unless you find a shop that will over look the fact that its a aftermarket part. i heard the high flow catted pipes do pass the sniff test

 

its covered under the warrenty

state of california says so

 

With. You plenty of extra power, no signficant difference fron noncatted and you get to avoid dumping huge amount of unneccessary pollutants into the air. Oh, and no horrible gas smells at stop lights.

I have actually studied the emmision laws VERY carefully. This is not my understanding. Read here http://www.racingbeat.com/emissions.htm It just needs to be "CARB Exempt" I will not argue with you about it though. In my understadning if the orginal unit fails you can replace it. That is all, have a nice day.
