- Here in Mass, the emissions test doesn't test for particulates. Cats don't
- do much more than reduce particulates by burning them more and reducing
- nitrates or some-such. If the cats are CARB approved, then they're legal
- to put on the car, but I wouldn't expect your GN to pass emissions tests
- any easier!
- BTW, I highly recommend the Dynomax ST. I've got 17734s on my mustang with
- a 2 1/2" exhaust and it made a HUGE difference in HP... (Lost some torque
- though...) I think they sound awesome, too.
