$600. Drive here, we can install tonight or tomorrow night.

You probably dont have air pump though, do you?
I mean we can do that install, too, but more involved.
Tough to go wrong on this deal!

No clue on what Virginia's emission testing is like, but getting a Euro through Califonia inspection is very tough.

I've never been able to accomplish this with the "approved" aftermarket cats, but it is possible with a factory cat and a set of US computers (O2 sensor compatible.) The fuel and ignition system has to be perfect, also!

Very "dirty" engines, which perform very well.

I don't know about VA but in NY the cat just has to BE THERE. No emissions testing for cars this age.
Kary,
That looks like a great system for the price. Did a search for VA. Your car is exempt from emissions testing. "Gasoline powered passenger or property carrying vehicles with a model year that is more than 25 years old before January 1 of the current calendar year."
See you Friday at your house!

Correct- go to a different inspection station.

Do you want to do it right or fast? I have a super clean running 85 euro (0 nox) with the best sound. That took a long time, but the results are worth it, more power, more sound, no fumes. (and NO messing with the LH)

if you car supports a O2 sensor,
then I would suggest to buy a new factory O2 sensor before you swap this in, it will have the proper plug connector.
leave the wires disconnected till you get the right part.


OTHERWISE your going to cut the factory wires to make it work, not good.
NOTE if you will post pictures of what your cars current configuration is its easier to advise.
