RT Cats dyno

 

thanks for the link! Those are very nice gains... save weight and more hp! what else do you want?

 

Who sells them? Their not listed on Random Tech's web site yet.

 

I think they are still testing, but should be available at www.nfcmotorsports.com soon. A little bird told me something about a test with a car with intake, exhaust and plenum that might be coming soon.

 

nice gains

 

I had heard they were available but the 6 HP gain I was told was with a y-pipe as well and that they thought the cats contributed 3 HP!!

 

very nice for those who live in the states that require emissions testing.

and for those who don't, go catless

 

That's an awesome gain. I heard high flow cats don't flow that much more over stock. I can't wait to see what my pipes are bringing to the ground... besides trees and old women with breathing problems.

that was hilarious

 

you guys should look into the amuse or mine's test pipes...13-15hp.

 

as replied to over there, the gains were with the stock y-pipe

 

OK, I live in a state that doesn't test emissions. But when I told my dad that I was thinking about removing the cats, he freaked out and said that if I go to a state that checks for them I would go underneath the jail, lol.

My question is, if I were to drive to California, but I still had Arkansas tags, could they get me for not having cats??? I mean, my car is from Arkansas, could they get me??? And would this be true for me driving through any other state??? I am talking about if I remove the cats completely.

 

You have a certain amount of time to vacate the state as my dad put it. For example, when youre 17 in NJ you get a license, but in New York you don't get one till you're 18 (hypothetical, not sure if this is still the case). Your NJ license IS honored in NY, but only for a 30 day max duration.

However, just because your state doesn't check emissions doesn't make it legal to take the cats off. It's illegal across the 50 states. It's a federal law. Caveat emptor.

 

ditto

 

link ? What exactly are you referring to ?

 

Test pipes replace your cats...we carry them on our site..here's a link to take a look at the Mine's ones. Please let me know if you're interested in them...thanks, Colin

Mine's Test Pipes

 

Yes, I believe California could and would cite you. Reason being, I was in military in california, with car registered in florida and got pulled over for tinted windows. I tried to reason with the officer that since I had florida registration, it was ok to have tinted windows. He said no. I asked if that were the case even if I was just passing through the state, and he said they still weren't allowed, and I could be ticketed, period.

 

OK, well I guess my dad wins, bummer, lol. Guess I am in the market for high flow cats...........

 

Colin,

I'm interested in the Mines straight pipes. Two questions: Will they throw a cel? Is the 13-15hp at the crank (any dynos?)?

Thanks!!

 

Both people who I know that have used test pipes in their car have not thrown any check enging lights as long as you plug in the o2 sensor to the bung holes on the pipes. The only time I have heard of cel going on is if you leave the car sitting at idle for an extended amount of time like 20 minutes. The dyno numbers of 13-15hp came from hyper rev magazine, so i'm assuming its rwhp, since the same magazine claimed 6hp from a cat back exhaust, which seems consistent with exhaust dynos from people on this board. Please let me know if you ahve any ohte questions, or send me a PM if you like

P.S. I'm ordering the Mine's test pipes for my car as well
