Well FWIW he does have a point. I have an SS, hardly anywhere even in stock form can I truly unleash it on the street without risking my license. It isn't like these emissions mandates were suddenly sprung on us. It was only a matter of time before they were truly enforced. I have a 4th Gen I'm building up but still running cats on my TD's. It still put down 450 to the wheels on a cam only LS3 car and is quick enough to put me behind bars.
It does suck for those track only cars, but being realistic probably only 10% of those using offroad pipes were truly 'track only' As long as they allow us to keep buying catted equipment, I'm still okay with it, although technically even that isn't federally legal. |

Vehicles can pass emissions testing without cats based on the fuel used...it's been done. All the cat equipped stuff is based around burning fossil fuel. If they actually gave a shit about the enviroment everything would of switched to alternative fuels a long time ago. E85 burns so much cleaner then pump gas it's not even funny. There is no money or pocket lining involved with E85 production. It only came around to appease a small group of tree huggers. Next everything is going to go electric and the production of battery operated stuff is going to be far more toxic then 18yr old Johnny running around with no cat on his hot rod burning pump gas.
