passing emissions - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #30423 9 posts Started by FSX_Celica94GT
im gathering all the parts i need to put on my header, and was wondering what the best aftermarket catalytic converters would be to put on. I would just use my stock ones, but they're almost at 190k, and i think it'd be best if i got 2 new ones. I found the stock ones for sale, but they're pretty pricey. I just dont wanna get one and have them put on then not pass emissions test or something. I was thinkin maybe a catco converter or another good cheap replacement.

It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....
If you must put one on, just go with one. This car really can't put out enough polutent to do that much harm. If your going to do that 3sge header, I think it'd be bad to use the stock ones cause they are smaller and restrickive. There's probably some good ones out there, but they cost a good bit.

just take it to an exhaust shop, they know what to do; and can do it for you.
1 cat can clean up ur emissions good enough...like biggyDOG man himself said, we're only running on 4 cyl. engines... >tongue.gif>

..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi..
Mine passed with an aftermarket header and no cat between the two 02 sensors (I'm OBDII) at a Toyota dealership.
Go figure.
I was happy.
I don't Think i can pass with a JDM engine. I have a cat, but the thing is the engine likes to spit out black soot with some water. Its really nasty and can be seen.

Well if you feel like driving to Houston I can get you hooked up no matter what you are emitting.
Kinda far though.
