To state telling the guy that passing emissions testing without cats is misinformation is a child who doesn’t know the effects of a catless system on emissions or doesn’t care what his contribution to global emissions is. It’s just him so how bad can it be? The problem is it’s NOT just him. What I don’t understand , BM3, Cary Jordan, BimmerWorld (actually they no longer sell tunes to state registered cars due to the epa), etc, sell stage 2 tunes that use stock cars. Don’t believe me, ask them. So other than wanting to be obnoxiously loud, there’s no reason to remove cats or if you do buy the AA EPA-certified HFC DP. You gotta pay to play properly.
I agree with most of what you said, talking about this stuff in public will just ruin everything for enthusiasts.
