my Catalytic Converter just split on the turbo side of my car. If I replace it with a test pipe will I pass emissions. Also does the test pipe have a hole for the O2 sensor. If I go with a cat again does any one know of a high flow replacement.

 

doing donuts in the snow is great but it has expensive consquences. LOL

 

No you will not pass emmisions. There are things you can do to trick your emissions sensors, I'm not sure what they are but unless you do them AND THEY WORK your SOL. I would say safer bet get a high flow cat. Its not as free flowing as a test pipe but way less restrictive then a stock cat. It will give you some more power without having to worry about passing emmisions. I got one from labree motorsports and recommend it to anyone. http://labreemotorsports.com/products_vw.html

 

thanks, just called labree to order but they said 2 weeks to make. Unfortunatly mine is broke and can't wait that long. I'll search for another company that sells high flow cats.

 

Cool, yeah sorry about that. I forgot to tell you they machine your HFC after you order it.

 

those pipes on their website look great though. It's to bad.

 

yeah, maybe get a universal cat in the meantime for like $90

 

For passing emissions, how exactly do they do that? I've never dealt with that yet.

Because my guy told me he can get a test pipe in for me and have the check engine light not on, by upgrading my current APR software.

 

just ordered from getcoolparts.com $270 shipped. I'll be driving friday.

 

Why is this hi flow cat from miltek $550 more than the one from labree - is it just because its miltek?
