ALMOST legal high flow exhaust ideas?

[powercho]

Not sure if there is already a thread about this, but I couldn't find one. I currently have a turbo back straight pipe. I'm having difficulty finding a 'friendly' state inspection station and the requirements in VA are a CAT w/ O2 sensors (doubt they check for sensors) and some type of baffled exhaust behind it. So I think my options are to gut my old CAT, get a DPF delete pipe and, run a cheater type muffler (or gut my old one) along the rest of my current 5" pipes. I would spend the extra cash for a larger diameter CAT, but the biggest inlet/outlet I could find were 3".

I don't want to choke the SOB because I plan on getting more upgrades, but I don't want to deal with this BS every year. Any ideas???

I miss Tx...

Is it visual inspection only or do they hook something up to the OBDII port as well?

[powercho]

No, visual only. They use a mirror and walk it the length of the exhaust.

Well then put the whole stock exhaust on it and hollow that crap all out!

If you have the stock exhaust, why not just swap them out and get it checked then back off. I can have my stock exhaust back on in under 2 hours

I will most likely go that route, but was looking for a permanent solution.

Thanks

They make a really short diesel muffler on eBay. It would be a good solution, and would keep your sound. But honestly, the turbos are technically a muffler.

i think if your going to gut anything the dpf is the one to gut and leave the cat

He is deleting the DPF.
