Egypt Sheets!
I was sitting down writing pros and cons on the SHO--looks like next week I am going to do the H&R springs, cam bolts (thanks bpd!), and TSW wheels. I'm hoping to then turn around and sell my flower power wheels for a decent price and get the LMS catless downpipe.
I've gone over this in my head -- I don't think emissions will fail without cats. It seems like PA just plugs into OBDII for CEL's and that's it. I don't know for sure, I know in Texas they actually put a probe in your tail pipe and that will tell if you have a cat or not. Andy says I can hit 400awhp with cat version, but what does that mean if I want to go even higher down road? I wish someone had a magic 8-ball that actually said "you're good."
One other question! Since I am doing the downpipe now, should I go ahead and put in the 170 thermo? since I have to pay labor for the pipes?
$4600 in parts so far -- sure adds up FAST.
*Edit; talked to my friend who is service manager at Ford--I'm going with cat version of LMS. I wouldn't pass testing; apparently OBDII would show some cat readiness error or something. LMS says I can still do 400awhp with cats, so might as well stay legal.
