Last year for Catalytic Converters? All 05 have cats?

[KaiHartman]

Well, if they go thru EPA certification requirements, the data exists at the very least at EPA Headquarters. Whether the test sites have the data or not doesn't mean the database doesn't exist. Logically, it can't NOT exist. I work for the Government. Databases exist for everything you could imagine, and some things that would baffle you.

That is logical and I retract some of my previous statement!, but it still doesn't answer the question as to whether or not the person ON SITE performing the testing knows if I should or should not have a Catalytic converter under my truck.....





And I second what Cattletrkr said!!!Oo.

Texas Diesels are exempt from emissions testing:

And here's that Database:

The Answer to Question #2 may contain some of the "How Do they Know" data.

And then you have these dingbats that basically say you cant do anything to you vehicle:

Fellas,



Not to hijack the thread, but talking about Cats, does anyone know if there is an aftermarket company making a 5 inch cat? I put that 5 inch turbo back on my 2006 mega cab and didn't want to restrict the flow back down to 3. 8 inches or whatever the stock is... So trying to se what the options are...

JTodd,



THANKS for the help! I'll spread the word to some of the locals who have been wondering as well, and it surely helps me in making my decision about what to do.
