Emissions enforcement? Bah! its all a crock of shit. Explain to me why the Lincoln Navigator with its 5.4L motor gets the same rating as a Hyundai? Oh because it goes PER LITER of displacement, not total emission over a given time period.. Its just bullshit.
There should be laws on how many people are allowed to drive alone to work in a 7 seater V8 automatic gas guzzler...
won't argue with you there, my point is, some kind of regulations are better than NONE when people are allowed to drive around their smokey, oil burning POS's that pollute 100x worse than an SUV.

I agree catalytic converters are good for you, and if mine wasn't clogged (or if I could afford a high flow one) I'd have one!
I think I paid $40 US for my magnaflow high flow 3" cat

But the way emissions are enforced is useless and almost doesn't make a damn difference to the environment.
Explain to me briefly if I pollute more per liter of gas I consume if I use nitrous oxide, if I have a bigger exhaust system, if I have a better flowing exhaust header, if I have nitrous hooked up, if I have advanced my timing - all that - seriously.
won't argue with you there again, but you're talking about street racing mods, which is what the cops are REALLY trying to crack down on. You think the cops care about emissions? Maybe, but it's the ricer racer's they're going after. You know I'm all about big exhaust, bewst, advanced cam timing etc, but I also run a cat and proper PCV system
