you cut it out your not gonna pass…unless you keep your car under 5000 miles a year then you are exempt from emissions
if you have a check engine light you fail
you car i take it is a 04 you are requird for the new emissions machine there is no sniffer involved its all tested by you obd2 connector…but you are still required to pass a visual… so if theres not a cat there no chance of passing…
do alot of people have the cats cut off there car yeppers… do they find ways to pass yep…is it a big fine oh yes…if the inspection place gets caught passing you with out it
not a diss but yours is a daily driver i take it leave the cat on get a nice cat back and a header call it a day… you are now where makeing enough power to be worried about if you need a cat or not… leave it on and save yourself the headachs
