    WHAT A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME! Can I get my 15 minutes back? I have a 2009 Prius with 212,000 miles and the cat was NOT stolen but won't pass emissions. If all of the aftermarket cats are around the same price or more than the OEM Toyota one, I'll just buy the Toyota one. Problem is, I don't want to spend $3,000 on a 15 year old car with 212,000 miles. One thing I was wondering but you didn't address is... at this point, I don't care if it's illegal in New York, California and Colorado but will the aftermarket cats which say are illegal in the restrictive states, pass inspection in those states?

    • @mufflertech
      @mufflertech หลายเดือนก่อน

      Geez, I hope my response isn’t a total waste of time for you. I’m not an expert on other states and their rules, but if they require your car to have no faults and or check engine lights, any aftermarket cat is risky as they are made below the standards of the OEM part and may not make enough conversion to meet the criteria the OBD monitors are looking for.

    Doesn’t the cat do cat things and keep the cars ecu happy? Whether it has a sticker on it or not?? I get you are trying to get business for your shop but the eBay cat will work it’s a direct replacement just because you cross state lines the car doesn’t stop working.

    • @mufflertech
      @mufflertech 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re missing the point. This is a video that applies to California and the other states that have adopted our rules. Just because a cat solves what the ECU is looking for doesn’t mean it has the correct certification to pass a visual test. Furthermore, the reason that the eBay and cheaper parts are less money is because they have less precious metal in them, they may keep the light off initially, but they will fall off their conversion rate much faster and will need to be replaced a lot sooner.

    I have a 5th gen Camaro SS with and without the factory NPP exhaust option. I’ve had friends do the “fuse pull” method, which leaves the valve open full time; which is good, if you want the exhaust as loud as possible all the time. However, I also thought the factory vacuum actuated system was too quiet for my taste. I ended up getting a ‘Mild 2 Wild’ electronic control system wired up, so that I could open the valves with a controller.
