OEM cats only ?
Chaps
would I be right in saying that its no longer legal to run an aftermarket cat unless the vehicle is either out of warrenty or is over 80K miles? http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/90781.html Does this apply to CA and New York only? |

UK and US laws are different, in US every county in every state has different emission regulations.

The only thing that aftermarket hi-flow cats get you, are sufficient emissions control to pass inspections. They're still technically an illegal mod if anyone wanted to crawl under the car and check. |

So, the ten-million dollar question, any benefit to cut-and-weld parts (Headers specifically), reusing the OEM cats?

no. if you don't mind the smell and noise, go catless. if you do, get a high flow cat. if you live in a state that cares about that sort of thing, your probably breaking the law in either case. just keep the stock stuff for inspection time

I believe borla themselves posted "federal law" a while back that states removing/replacing any stock cat with anything but OEM is considered illegal, unless of course it is track use...
