Do what you want, if you go catless then know someone that can help you pass emissions.

Well, if you live in Dallas I would have Jotech do it. Plus they're familiar with turbonetics because of all the Scions they turbo. Although I'm not sure they've ever done a turbonetics on a 350z yet?

I'm due for inspection in November, and I'm currently running test pipes.

yea i know that jotech is an authorized dealer of turbonetics, and they gotta have some knowledge of the kit bc of the scion kits they do like u said but i' guess whenever i do get ready to have it done i'll have to see if they have done one before

if you need to pass the inspection just go to a non-emission county for your testing

get in on the HFC sale that Fast Intentions is having. $530 shipped on their 300 cell stainless steel cats...plus they can weld in extra O2 bungs (ha...he said "Bung"...sorry, my immature side could not resist) for $20 each...check out this post:

I don't know about Dallas, but Austin just went to the sniffer test last year. SUCKS! So if Dallas is not doing it yet...they will be soon.

when I got my emissions done they just plugged in under the dash... the guy told me unless you are throwing codes you are almost always going to pass that.

How about posting some of those dyno results with the auto. Do you have some with and without the CAT?
