Just registered my FD with the classic insurance
No more emissions ever.
Just had a few questions about exhaust systems and setups guys are running that do not have to go through emissions
I already have the down pipe but I was thinking about adding a the Resonated Main Cat Pipe vs the one with the hiflow cat, then after market exhaust .
Also considering removing the air pump.
To you guys out there running this setup, how is the drive ability effected? The sound?
Do I absolutely need the Fuel computer first?
I had a second gen with the full racing beat setup but it was a NA.

If you keep boost at or below 10psi you will be fine on the stock ecu. In Phoenix that shouldnt be difficult, in cooler climates boost creep can be a bitch to fight.
You will get a big power boost going to a full 3" exhaust, I still suggest the hi-flow cat though, if you dont want to smell like fuel when you get done driving.
With a stock ported engine, if everything is in good shape the car will actually run great with the emissions deleted. Shouldnt change driveability at all. If the car is sequential the catback is not that important for keeping noise down. Obviously some are quieter than others but most sound just find with the flapper still in the turbo manifold.

^ I would assume that in Arizona if the car is registered as a classic there is no need for emissions testing/inspection in that state. Why the last word in the title is "insurance"? I do not know.
So he/she is asking basic questions that have been answered countless times before about what happens when he/she removes and adds certain equipment related to emissions and performance.

Gene - A bunch of us use American Collectors Insurance, they're significantly cheaper than Haggerty and Grundy.

I don't see anything about the car being registered as a classic. In Arizona, cars have to be 25 years old for antique status. I don't see any "classic" status on the AZ dmv website.

^ Well I was looking at the title of the thread saying that the car was just registered, so I was assuming he/she meant with the DMV. Guess we will have to wait for the OP to clear things up.

I just got a quote.... EXACTLY what I have been looking for. A company that has a set payout...
$25,000 total loss payout. Full coverage with $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive.

Registration at the AZ DMV consists of a VIN integrity check (fire wall, windshield and door jam), mileage versus title, and they look for the sticker in the door jam that states the vehicle meets US DOT requirements. That's it!
I have approximatly the same coverage with Grundy for $460 per year. Must be because I'm an old(er) fart

No more emissions ever.
Just had a few questions about exhaust systems and setups guys are running that do not have to go through emissions
I already have the down pipe but I was thinking about adding a the Resonated Main Cat Pipe vs the one with the hiflow cat, then after market exhaust .
Also considering removing the air pump.
To you guys out there running this setup, how is the drive ability effected? The sound?
Do I absolutely need the Fuel computer first?
I had a second gen with the full racing beat setup but it was a NA.

Regarding the elimination of your high flow cat for a resonated MP, bear in mind that once you elimate your highflow cat for a midpipe, the car (and your clothes) will stink considerably more. I've accepted it with my ride, but it is something to consider. Midrange power should improve with a resonated MP vs high flow cat, but so will the likelihood of boost creep. Proceed with caution, but HAVE FUN!

How in the world did you register it under a classic and still maintain daily? I thought you were only allowed to register as classic if 50+ years old and can ONLY drive it to parades or car shows..

Seems like from what I've heard and read, experiences removing just the airpump on the stock ECU vary. Some report driving issues, while others couldn't tell the difference. If you intend to remove any other emissions stuff I think the easiest is to just go to a standalone to avoid CELs. That's what I did.
As for insurance...FWIW, I'm with Hagerty. Agreed value policy, $100 deductible, $0 deductible on comp. About 1/3 less annually than my old standard policy...which was NOT agreed value and $500 deductible on everything. I have two cars with them now. Only had one claim...a rock through the windshield. Two phone calls and I had a check in hand in about 3 days.
