i have an 87 mustang that i need to bring through emmissions, now i have an off road h-pipe on there now, with a full 2.5" exhaust. I happen to have an original 2.25" h-pipe with cats, will this bolt onto the car and fit, or will i have problems. Kind of a stupid question i know but i just need to know if i will have to buy another one. thanks guys
is it just a visual inspection?? If so just remove the heatshields from the catted pipe and tack weld them to the off-road pipe, Save you the hassle of changing over every year. This is what i did, and i pass every year !
Yes it works. I am currently running a stock h-pipe with aftermarket shorty headers and 2.5" cat-back
ohh wow thanks alot guys im pumped i dont have to spend 400 bux on a new pipe NO its not a visual inspection unfortunately, damn CT laws but thanks for the help
Nope CT is the sniff test and a tough one at that, I barely passed with my car! That and they hounded my brother for not having the EGR hooked up on his.
A few people I know passed easily. My brothers 86 and mine had issues passing. I have long tubes and made an Hpipe which is one reason it had a hard time, but a friend with a HCI 302 with a very similar homemade Hpipe, and no smog pump, passed with flying colors. Good luck with it!
awesome... yea i dont have the smog pump either, just cats..just came in from putting them on actually, so i think i will be ok
