When i lived in Houston tx i was driving around with one of my friends from Louisiana he had a 7.3 power stroke with a chip on it. we were getting on i45 and there was a damn emission van there. We decided we would do the right thing and dump black smoke all over the van when we got on the freeway. i wonder how they like those emissions

They probably won't. I always make sure I have something that resembles a cat under there though. They looked at my turbo and thought it was a super cat or something.

Maybe our county could afford to educate these people if they didn't spend all the money to build this death star van. http://www.transview.org/aran/

Hopefully the flex joints in the exhaust will look enough like cats to satisfy them

Those vans look....unnecessary. Can't they just have someone drive the street in a normal car and tell you the same thing for a lot cheaper?

well the thing they got picks up the emissions from your vehicle as you drive by them. I had an eagle talon 10 years ago that I hollowed the cats out on and it still passed.
