non catt or with catt ? now a days if you go to emission they just use OBD check and they don't use the old stick in the muffle....right??? DO YOU A NON CATT WILL STILL PASS?
In Arizona they hook up the OBD2 as a "readiness test"... If it throws any related codes you fail and have to get it repaired (or maybe just turn off the sensors in the ECU)..... but there is more to the testing here if you get past the readiness portion. Others may chime in, but I know a visual inspection is common. The difference with non-catted will be obvious of course.
In AZ, if I knew I would be trading within 4-5 years I might never give it another thought since current models don't get emissions testing here.
For maybe 1-2 hp why I decided not to take the risk. I know the extra dollars are rather large, and I paid for catted... maybe foolish... but maybe save the time, effort, and worry that I may need an annual exhaust overhaul to go pass emissions. I decided my time was worth more than the added cost of the catted dp's... and that the hp difference wouldn't be worth it. That being said, everyone has to decide for themselves.
