Quick ? Do they acutally replace the Primary Cats? I live in Tn where we have a "mild" emissions check each year and i have a invidia mid pipe that deleted my 2nd cats. If they do replace the primary ones im afraid that I would not pass emissions. Any help??
I figured that too, but if my primary and secondary cats are gone, it wont look like anything is under there will it
I agree. If there are no cats, then it is a straight-through setup.
Even if they can't verify visually, running cat-less usually emits a strong odour that suggests there are no cats. Believe me, I ran a straight-through setup before and you can smell it both inside and outside.
I really want them, just not sure if i want to fork out the around 1200 it will cost, plus the fact it may not pass emissions.... grrrrrr
If you want them, get them! Outside of FI, there aren't any other mods for the 2IS that give this big a bump in whp. Here's my advice for the emissions and cost dilemma:
Purchase the headers, but get a new emissions inspection before you get them installed. Hold off on the high-flow cats - after all, you've got two years to figure out how to pass emissions. After two years, you can either buy the high-flow cats or just find a friendly mechanic to give you a pass.

Guess you missed where he said in his state the emissions inspection is every year?

Yup we have the check every year. It a little place you have to go where they put that thing on your gas cap, stick that thing in your exhaust, and plug that thing into your computer Man i really want these.
I guess if i do get them and they ended up saying something at emissions, I could take my invidia Mid Pipe back off and put the stock one on with the secondary cats.
