Hey guys I tried to get my turbo Z registered today and failed the test because i don't have cats..... where can I get some cat covers to go over my greddy evott pipes?

 

hahaha! cat covers.

did you fail visual or an actual sniffer? I assume visual bc you wanna just make your down pipes looks like cats.

but no way in hell any inspector will let some cover slide.

good luck

 

it was just a visual inspection where they stick a mirror under the car

 

just get high flows or put the stock cats on to go get the inspection..ur not gonna just slap a cover over ur test pipes and call it a day

 

Go for it, I've heard of it working... I heard its a PITA to get the heatshields not to rattle like a **** though.
Problem is, your already in the sytem for failing. It might have worked before you failed. Do you have a temp now?

 

phen...let me know what you end up going with and what eventually passes you. although i know plenty of people do pass...somehow...w/o cats or fakes, i'm sort of worried about the same thing. enough that if the smell/soot bothers me enough, i might consider high flow cats at some point. my car is still in the shop though, so it's a while before i have to get it inspected. i'll be interested to see what works for you. i'm in a different state, but similar inspect. just visual. maybe find a...friendly shop?

SICK car btw. i saw it in person when it was sitting on the dyno...R888's, i believe? really nice job. i'd love to see it on the road or track sometime.

 

gotta love the cheap *** florida law makers disbanding the emissions program in 1985.

Our emissions program is basically sign here X________________ . I promise not to remove my cats from my car.

 

Replace a stock one for emission test. If you don't have look for used one in market place, that will be much easier than look for cover.

Edit: or you should try other place as well. I went to one place in town and they failed mine ( SC? failed?, they said because i don't have a stock air box.....) And i found a place that little far away from town, which looks not that bz...and got me sticker ) Btw, i'm running HFC.

 

thanks for the helpful responses everyone - i'll try covers and see what happens for now.

 

Maaan, you in TN? When I live there in Knoxville a few years back they didn't have inspections. See sig. I heard Chatanooga started a few years ago, didn't think it would go state wide.
