Yes that is a cat, its a high flow free flowing cat. Thats why its not fat and big like the stock ones are that are restrictive, just like you mufflers stock ones are bigna d fat , aftermarket are not.Im almost 100 % sure they will pass it, they wont pass if if you dont have a cat. Did you have o2 sensors before or after the cat that was stock?

 

nope

 

i dunno, i know mines hollow and i passed inspection. just buy it and get a normal cat metal guard and put it over it. you will pass.

 

yeah, you have to put the stock heatshield over it for them to pass it. unless you know someone that can over look that.

 

Most cats have split air pipes feeding them. Fresh air pumped via the air pump into the convertor to aid in the "digestion" of zee hydrocarbons.

Just do what I do, bolt something on, get it inspected, take it home and swap...

 

exactly.

 

Did you bother to read the thread at all? IT IS NOT A CATALYTIC CONVERTER! IT HAS NO CAT MATERIAL, NONE, A WHOPPING 0%.

You guys are the reason he manages to sell these things as cats on eBay

Now ... will it pass or not is another question, that depends on the inspector.

 

reasonator.....?

 

i got a cat from "brake parts" for 60 bucks, and its a 3" diameter and 16" long. i suggest getting one of em.
