Mladen said it correct.
There is no state that allows for cats to be replaced unless they have failed, are out of warranty or damaged. Even then, they need to be a cat that is as good or better than the replacement. At this point there isn't ANY high performance cats that qualify for legal replacement, we hope this changes! We have NEVER had one of these parts fail, we have NEVER had a part with fitment issues, and while it is was expensive to make, that has nothing to do with why we temporarily stopped selling the part. There is no state that it is legal to remove or defeat and emissions control device. We always get customers that say "I don't live where emissions testing is required so it doesn't matter, make me this part!". This does not make it ok to run catless, or defeat emissions control devices just because your area doesn't test for it. Just like its not legal to drive 100MPH in places where there are no police around. This is a slightly sad story, but trust me, there are other ways to make power, and other things we have up our sleeves to keep customers coming to PERRIN for their BRZ needs. |

That's a pretty broad generalization don't you think? Just because someone is a car enthusiast and enjoys Motorsports doesn't mean you can't do it in an environmentally responsible way. While I agree that Perrin potentially might lose a portion of their market by not selling performance parts that directly affect emissions of a vehicle, there are still plenty of ways to improve a vehicles performance without affecting how "green" it is in a negative way. Sometimes you can even increase a vehicles performance while making it greener at the same time. I for one bought the BRZ not only because it's a great looking car and looked like it would be amazing to drive on a track, but also because I knew I could get 30+ mpg's while driving it daily. There's no way my old STi could manage that.
