Lookin’ good as always. Why’d you pay for a 2.5" SS cat-back and keep the stock muffler? The muffler’s inlet is 2.25" and the stock cat-back is already 2.5" to the axle… ---

The stock exhaust was bent from an accident. I hate loud 4cyl exhaust noise, so I just kept the big donkey dick muffler. lol. I guess the Dynomax Super Turbo is quiet but it’s probably louder than OEM and that would just annoy me. ---

> [@DrunkieTheBear"](#): > > How do you guys get away with no cats come inspection time? Most aftermarket test pipes come with an extension for the 02 bung, almost like a defouler. It pulls the plug out of direct flow and tricks the car into thinking there is a cat. I’m running a high-flow cat in my setup and still have to do this or else I’d throw a code… Not the same application, but to give you an idea: [http://www.ottperformance.com/store/pc/catalog/lnfdp\_detail.jpg](http://www.ottperformance.com/store/pc/catalog/lnfdp_detail.jpg) ---

Well, it still passes the visual inspection because if a tech looks under there, technically the cat is still there. There’s just nothing in it. :lol I have the catalyst efficiency codes turned off in my tune. Wa-hoo ---
