Kooks introduced their "Green Cat" at Sema 2012. It is the same size, and is 49 State Certified. That is an option, but Kooks has been unwilling just to sell the Cats, and they want you to send in the Y Pipe so they can weld them in. If its not their Y pipe, tough luck.
Thank you

Our new Green Cats actually outflow our standard cats. They are a 300 cell cat with 3 times the precious material as OEM. You can have OEM quality, EPA certification, with high flow and performance. As a matter of fact Brenspeed, who is better known for Mustang tuning, is running our Green Cats on all of their NMRA race cars and just recently won their class at Norwalk.

The muffler shop in downtown Denver that a friend hooked me up at had no problem cutting my old kooks high flows out and welding new ones in. The important thing is to go to a reputable muffler shop and this is an easy and cheap job, for an experienced welder, and I have the old kooks x pipes and kooks racing headers. I haven't noticed any power loss but I haven't had a dyno to see, and the fact I know my dyno numbers will be lower since my time and last dyno were in Arizona. I have to check my online receipt for the green cats, but I think they were about $600 for 2, and your looking at between $100 to $150 for install.

There are a lot of changes coming to the Colorado Emissions program on 01/01/2015, the state legislature has already signed it. They must have done it when they were done attacking firearms owners rights.
Depending on how it is implemented it could be very good or very very bad for modified cars.

The issue is that they are well aware that a tuner can modify the software program in the PCM so it won’t trip the check engine light or set any codes. The software in the PCM is EPA certified and modifying it is a violation of Federal law.
Apparently they may choose confirm the factory software version integrity and validity during the test.

Do you know if this is a Denver area thing or state wide? We currently have no emissions testing in El Paso county.
It looks like it will be all OBD2 based testing for cars 10 years old or less starting 01/01/2015.

And if they use the cars onboard computer to tell them if it is running right instead of a tail pipe test they don’t want a modded computer.
There bringing hybrids into the program and it looks like enhancing the areas also.

Do you happen to know what the bill number is?
I don’t know yet where the boundaries will be. I was told issue is not so much tuner type cars but that the same thing could be done to any old pos on a used car lot.
