RE: Test pipe?
 

Ive never heard of it being illegal in SC. We dont have emissions checks here so theyre ok i believe.

RE: Test pipe?
 

they might be legal, but morally, they're wrong lol

RE: Test pipe?
 

most states that even if you dont have emissions checks they are still illegal(like FL and NJ). how they would ever catch you i dont know

RE: Test pipe?
 

Ditto. Not legal in FL, but nobody checks. I put a high-flow cat on my full-size Bronco so my dog, passengers, and I could drive with the tailgate window down and still enjoy ourselves.

It's your call, but ebay has tons of Catco high-flow cats for $50 or less (incl shipping), which is what I paid for a big 3" in/outlet Catco on the Bronco. High-flow cats are cheap, and you'll have a better chance of hooking up with the cute environmentalist behind you in her Prius.

RE: Test pipe?
 

so test pipes are illegal? and the hi-flow cat converter is legal right? cuz soon im gonna be buying a hi flow cat and i am debating if it is legal or not....

Yes, I haven't heard anyone complaining about failing the sniffer test in California, etc on the other discussion groups I've been on. It costs a little more for an OBD-II compliant cat for '96+ models, here's what a good 2" would look like for the typical Accord:

It's your call. If you drive a Jeep, convertible, Bronco or anything with open exposure from the rear, you want a cat. There really isn't any difference in power or economy with a high-flow cat vs. a test pipe, just one runs cleaner than the other.
