Test Pipe Legality Question
03' accord V6 has 3 cats on it. Two on on each exhaust manifold and one after the j pipe. If i put a test pipe on my 3rd and last cat, is it Illegal?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: no.
It really depends if your state does emissions testing. The gains are negligible for an OEM cat vs. Aftermarket High-Flow Cat vs. Test Pipe so it's really not worth it.

well they do but since its just on a flange i plan to take it off when i have to.....My friend did the same and he gained about 5hp at high rpm but lost at low due to of course backpressure. And it sounds amazing

haha i will. Well i can pass emissions without it because the 02 sensor is right after the pre cats so its all good. I just got it so we will see how it sounds in a couple.
