Hole in cat. Will i pass inspection?

I have a 1993 chevy astro van to rock the winter months away in. I haven’t gotten it inspected yet and it has a hole in the cat. I want to know some opinions if it will pass cause if it will i wont bother fixing it, and saving the cash would be nice. Thanks!

Technically yes because it is a 93 and you only have a safety inspection.

93 is only a safety inspection? I do not think that is true…I believe there is a visual inspection on emissions equipment.

So visually mask the hole. Badaboom.

Your absolutely right, I was half asleep and my brain was seeing 1983 not 1993 for some reason. There is a visual inspection to ensure that all the pollution control devices are working properly. Also, fyi you can fail for patching a converter if the inspector wants to be an ass because you are not allowed to modify them in any way whatsoever. Your best bet is to find a friendly inspector here on nyspeed to do the inspection.

go to quick lube, no one will check, the employees are too demoralized to care, they’ll really appreciate it if you run them over

plus 1 i hear only real wierdos work at those places

I lost my shit reading that

So wheres this quick lube? Cause i dont know any inspectors from nyspeed.

Valvoline, any of them. It would pass though. It just has to be there, it does not have to work.

Well theres a valvoline right by my house down here in fredonia, so i guess i will hit that place up. Thanks

Good old fredonia…I lived above club 35 for two years in college good times!

A hole in a cat is probably better than no cat… And I know most of those oil change places pass vehicles without cats all the time. They don’t care about emissions. Just as long as there isn’t a check engine light.

Thats awsome i went to a party there before. was pretty solid. I live on carol off central not as fun as downtown. lol

hahaah ME! not anymore though =(

it did get me through school =p, i cant count how many times i wished i wasnt alive, then i would just tell myself only x amount longer till sk00ls done, then a black guy would show up and pay cash for everything yay off the books!

Ahh yes, right above the gutter pigs and swamp donkeys. Those were the days.

Faso’s garage on water past the bridge was a solid shop during my time in Fredonia. Greg is a bit of a crackhead but he hooks that shit up. I strongly recommend him.

Yea that fasos guy is the man but a little odd good dude though

Off to Faso’s i go!

Faso’s does not do them anymore and valvolines lift is broke. i cant believe this haha

"does not do them anymore’ = license revoked? lol
