Replace Pre Cat with DP? Will it pass emissions?
I've been doing research on 3rd gen RX7's because I plan on purchasing one by early spring.
Will replacing the pre cat with a downpipe cause me to fail emissions (assuming the engine is in good running condition)? I've been reading conflicting articles around the web.
I live in CT and am not sure of what the emissions reqirements are. Anyone in this forum familiar or have had experience with this?
Thanks,
Matt

I live in California, land of the smog *****, and I was able to pass our strict smog dyno test with flying colors with a DP and CB on the stock ECU.

Thanks. I've been reading that the pre cat tends to clog fairly easily resulting in engine failure.
Another question, what is the average hp achieved with bolt-on modifications using the twin turbo setup ?
Whats the highest achieved with the twin turbo setup?
These might be very broad questions with infinite answers, but I'm just trying to get a feel of what to expect.
Thanks

Don't know what your emissions standards are but here in Texas they put the car on rollers and check emissions at different rpm. My car with downpipe and stock main cat passes easily.

The best OEM look cat-back is the Racing Beat Dual. Nobody complains about them and they like the reasonable noise levels - it's pretty quiet. That's what I'd get if I had $500 to spend (after I get an aluminum radiator, anti-det mod, replace FPD and hoses, etc)
If you want noise, obnoxious ricey-looking single tip, or really need that 1 extra HP to come from your cat-back, then any other brand will do.
The search feature on this board will do you big favors, Saner-san.
