Well I have a 2006 RST Silverado. As you guys know it came with JBA shorties, but I bought pacesetter LT's with the ORY. However, I want to be able to pass emissions in the future. I am looking at going with one cat right where the Y meets. It is made by vibrant and is the round metal core cat, item number 7102. What do you guys think? Would my truck pass emissions? Thanks in advance!

 

i say just to the ORY and not worry about the cats and make buddies with an inspector

 

Why don't you tell us what state you're in and what kind of inspection they do.

 

Well I live in Connecticut. I don't exactly know what to expect. Maybe this link will help you guys help me. http://www.ctemissions.com/failure-reasons.html

 

I'm from houston... I'm thinking about the same thing? I have the money to buy LT's but i'm worried about the emissions....

 

You'd fail (visual) inspection if you did that in Texas. The law here reads that the vehicle must have the same number of cats as from factory, and they must be in the same (relatively speaking) position.

 

That's the law here in Jersey too...cat's must be there, in factory location. You could always put some dummy cats in the ORY, they won't be in the factoy location, but should be close enough to fool most state inspectors.

 

My bullet muffler is my 'cat'.

 

Another option is OBX LT's if you are 2WD they have resinatiors that on a visual inspection would look like cats and they are farely close to the stock locations

 

I don't know what the heck to do guys. I may just keep the stock stuff for later use.
