Can't Pass smog In CA. need new Cat...
Can't Pass smog In CA. need new Cat...
Title says it all, I have an 89 GTUs. New owner.
It putters on Idle in the middle where the Cat is so I assume that its the Cat. I see a little cracking on the edge where the factory weld is on the Cat. I see that there are 2 pre Cat components. I have a few questions.
1. Can I bypass the 2 pre Cat and just get a muffler shop to make a straight pipe from the headers to the Cat? Is it Emission okay for CA?
2. Is there a good aftermarket Cat that anyone can recommend to get that I can pass the CA emmision test with? And related to the 1st question, do I need the pre Cat components.
3. I saw in some theads that the Cat was ment to burn off excess fumes. Will an Aftermarket do this? or as well or better?

Thanks for the great response.
The 2 pre Cat components, are they going to cause any start up problems if I remove them?
Or just put a new Cat right after them?
