Hey!,
I was down at the local <V8> speed shop today getting 3" tubing and bends for my exhaust and it turns out that they have 3" 'high flow' cats. Is one of 'em going to survive on my car (it's a TII w/ a 3" exhaust and a Haltech, with which i'm trying to keep the stock emissions stuff)? I know rotaries burn hot, but the cats are supposed to get pretty hot to work well, right?

Also, the cats are quite a bit smaller than the stock one for my car, will I need two of them to make up for this? (I'm trying to pass CA emissions with the Haltech / J-spec deal...)

Thanks!,
Manolis

 

won't you fail visual inspection if it's not 100% stock in cali ??...

 

yeah, i think so. I'm trying to make it look as close to stock as possible, and hoping that i get an inexperienced inspector . I might also, eh, 'redo' that underhood sticker...

either way, i have no qualms about 'persuading' someone to pass my car on visual, but i'd like it to pass tailpipe.
