Default passed emissions without a cat?

i have a hollowed cat, and i was curious if it was possible to pass without it, assuming of course, that everything else was okay?

take care,
brian

Not likely, but it's happened plenty of times before.

While I don't know where "moreboost" resides, I would think that after seeing many members' posts regarding their encounters with the California SMOG test (and some other states now too) I would highly doubt you'd be able to pass the new SMOG test. However, if you're creative with tuning your engine you might get lucky.

Please let us know how you fare if you attempt to take the test sans cat.

Yes you can in washington at least.
My friend scirroco - corrado engine/turbo passed without it.

I am told that creating a vacuum leak, will make your car pass.
A $50 bill has a way of passing cars.
