Colorado peeps step in, emissions related.
So I just finished building my new motor and need to do a emissions test but need to get my Kooks green cats installed to pass. I took the car to a exhaust shop in Windsor after they said it would be 80-100 each side, we put it on his lift and his price jumped to 640+\- a couple hours ($80 an hour).
So at this point I'm looking for some help. I either need a shop that has done this exhaust work before going from a cat-less X pipe to installing these cats or some one that would rent me a X pipe that works on a 08 c6 ls3- (3"x3" and goes down to 2 1/2 exit).

I've used Exhaust Pros in Northglenn for years. See Mike. If you are planning to build the catted X pipe and use it permanenty, the green cats may be OK. Usual issue w/emissions tests and aftermarket cats, particularly with a modded motor, is that they don't get hot enough to light off. I had to take a factory center section, shorten it and use the factory cats, swapping out the hi flow cats and X pipe every two years to pass the test, along w E85 and a re-tune. Good luck.

What I'm trying to figure out now is if I should just build a catted X with my stock stuff or try to cut my existing Kooks one up and install the green cats and add some e85 to the tank.
Just not sure yet.
