Rats nest

Wootage... i think that i have figured out what to do with my vacation days.

I have 2 more years of inspection to go fo emitions. Then why am i so happy? i stopped by the guy that does my emitions and asked what is 'leagle'. he told me i only check for the cat. he also said that he would get me to pass as long as i has just the cat on the car all would be good.

so question. with out changing out the header, i beleive that i have the thermoreactor. could i just plug up the hole for the air pump and pull the rest of the rats nest off and leave the reactor and cat on? or am i asking for trouble?

Where did you go that said they would pass you? I have mine registered in Alabama because I can't get it to pass.

I go to a guy in ellenwood GA... and have been for the past 3 years. i have also gotten other people to go to him for emition testing. but the main thing i think it is because it only has 2 years left on it before i can rip the cat off of the car.

again with a thermoreactor and cat can i take the air pump and rest of rats nest off or am i asking for trouble?

Dont do that if you keep the cat on. It'll eventually melt the innards of the cat with no air pump air.
