Chopping Off Catalytic Converter

[JRKOUPE]

Just a warning, Chattanooga started Emission testing last year, and I've heard either Knoxville or Nashville will be the next city to implement it. They do a visual inspection to make sure a Cat is in place. So you may want to check with the DMV to see when and if Knoxville will be starting it.

Emission testing was already voted down a couple months ago.

As it is now Nashville is only requiring emission testing on large trucks, vans, and SUVs.

My current idea is to run 2 seperate pipes and have 2 GPs in place of the cat (1 for each pipe) and then 2 seperate Borla or Magnaflow mufflers.

.....running 2 gps and 2 mufflers will take a lot of space, will be heavy and will not be cost effective......consider running a single pipe w/ a gp and muffler in line....... or if you must,2 pipes w/ gps on each into a single muffler......
