same goes for the cars in the ghetto here in Dayton it seems like they wont drive it unless it has no exhaust, shattered windshield, or half the body is missing. BTW, we dont have to pass any tests here either, thankfully

When a car is rattling at idle, and no smell is coming up chances are its a worn bushing or loose heat sheild.
Do not put in a high flow cat, your car will be annoying loud and you'll most likely see what looks like [oil burn] smoke coming out of the tail pipe [ever seen an old muscle car take off and their's smoke like a deisel coming out its tail pipe, because they don't have cats]. High flow cats on an improper engine do that, you'll look like a true $300 beater.

Lucky freaking you. I used to think smogging wasn't a big deal. And then I got my Sil-Eighty. At cruising its 8 times what the legal HC limit is. So I've got to get a smog retune just to pass.

Like I said, the high-flow cats don't clean well. And modern cats flow well anyway. It's stupid not to have a cat. Despite the trouble I'm having with my car, a car that can't pass a smog test isn't a street car.

I've seen some beaters Primetime. My CRX is one. And it's only going to get worse

It's just my belief that we should all do our part for th environment. I'm not saying go buy a hybrid, but at least try to do a little less damage. Besides, hydrocarbons kill brain cells. And make retarded babies.
