what part of Va u from? I know a few kids that'll just slap a sticker on if ur shit isn't totally fed up...

The catback has no effect on emissions. It is purely for sound reduction

you probably need to change your catalyst or your o2 sensor. have your car checked up with an obd sensor to see what part you have that are flawed.

im from up in loudoun county.

and im looking around online and these listings for catback systems say there for racing only?

 

[paoloDa92]

you need a catback, ccause here in washington you need a catback to pass it...

loldoode: my cats are alright, the problems that the pipes have a bunch of holes throughout the whole catback system

So you're worried about passing inspection then, not emissions.....just to clarify.

well if they use the wand and put it in the tailpipe for the emissions test and my pipes have a bunch of holes in them ill fail emissions, right?

What kind of exhaust do you have right now? Pictures?

The catback is just piping and a muffler. It has zero effect on emissions. It may cause you to fail the inspection part, depending on how strict they are in your area.

The only thing in the exhaust system that has effects on emissions are the catalytic converter and the primary o2 sensor.

dc2: so the holes in the piping will only cause me to fail inspection?

either way i need to replace the catback, and im looking to upgrade and help performance.
