the 1st cat in uppie is not needed since it's mainly used for cold starts.

When smog check time comes, all you have to do is have the car running hot and you'll pass with no problems with the last 2 cats. Only problem may be the visual inspection, which you might not pass if the inspector makes a very thorough inspection.

ah, ok that's what I thought. I think the testers are pretty easy around here, they passed my old civic and the exhaust had a hole in it.
