don't mean to hijack the thread but its along the same lines...if I fit a decat manifold will I still get through an emissions test? And do you know where I can get one or is it another one of those super rare parts no one can find anymore?

If you warm it up it should still pass easily with the main cat in place.

will pass not a problem with the decatted manifold....im running the prolex one but im still running the main cat.

if you go to a good exhaust maker he should be able to remove the cats and weld in pipe and their you have a decatted manifold..
