Ok here is the deal:

I have an 81 GSL - ratsnest - airpump - cat - nikki + cat replacement pipe + dellorto side drafts.

I would like to make her "inspection" legal (for TX) in the emissions category, but from what I have read I in other posts am pretty much SOL without an air pump when it comes to adding a cat. and passing emissions, is this the case or am I slightly misguided?

 

that is the case.

 

no its not! do a search under my name,, i just went through emissions today and passed with flying colors, i have no emissions on my car, so i borrowed a precat and main cat from a buddy of mine, extremley de-tuned my car so it ran like ***, and i passed... but thats just me, F emissions!
