One of those "mysteriously appearing and disappearing" cats? ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Word is CHP is actually doing roadside inspections (not common but supposedly they still do it from time to time) for illegal mods. Basically anything that doesn't have a CARB Exemption number is illegal, removal of any emissions equipment (including the cat) is illegal, etc. Fines are pretty big.
I also remember reading that they're currently testing roadside detection equipment that will be able to measure (roughly) a passing vehicle's emissions. If you trigger it, they can pull you over and investigate. The latest chapter in the cat & mouse game. . .

I ran a Bursch header with cat pipe for a long time and was never so happy when I went back to stock. Not only quieter, the power band moved back to where I could actually use it.
Sure, the header and cat pipe made more power, but it was all at higher RPMs. No help, even softened the botton end and mid range.
I did not like the sound quality. Might be better with the stock headers.
My nickel . . . .

I'm gonna get a cheater-cat. Already put the Flowmaster on. Of course I have my own pipe bender so what does it matter if I need new pipe? I'll just make it myself. Hmm...maybe I could make a few bucks offering a Flowmaster 944 kit? Anyone interested?

strike-force, how's the flowmaster sound on the 944? Which series did you use?
I've heard one before, but it was a racing muffler, and it was REAL loud, and too high-pitched.
