Help!!! Smog question!!!
So i just bought a 2000 7.3 and as i go to smog it it fails!
I bought it from a fellow in a county that doesnt require a smog cert, however i live in a less fortunate area where you do. The good part is that it passed everything with flying colors except for the "visual inspection of a catalytic converter." Now the nice fellow behind the counter stressed to me that it needs to pass a VISUAL inspection only. So it currently has a 4" all the way back, what do you guys think my options are here. A friend offered to let me borrow is cat for the smog. I priced a new cat, and thats way more than i want to spend A friends friend will sell me a cat for $250, that's fully functional All i really want is for it to pass, to buy me some time to save back up and figure out what i ultimately want to do with the system. What do you guys think? Last edited by clutch1515; 03-10-2011 at 08:54 AM.

A 2000 shouldn't have come from the factory with a cat. And should have a sticker under the hood that says non-catalyst.
 (Edit: Unless it is a manual)Should be a sticker like this under the underside of the hood

Should be by the hood latch.
The only SDs (7.3) that had cats were early 99s and manuals.

No problem. Now hopefully you don't find a big sticker that says "YES THIS TRUCK IS CATALYST" and I look like an idiot

im pretty sure if the truck is a CA model it has a 50% chance of having a cat....

Worse case do like some body I know did
 Take a cat and with a torch cut the pipe out on both sides. Gut it and then slide a piece of your 4" pipe through it and re-weld it nice and pretty. Throw a little paint on it and roll it around the yard a time or two then put it back on the truck. VISUALLY its there and functioning but inside is a straight through 4" pipe
