You guys can keep your screamer......but im gonna LMFAO when i read a post in the Wanted Section about needing a stock dump pipe cause you got defected and copped a 10k fine from the EPA for bypassing your Cat.

The 10k fine for bypassing a cat or not using a cat is bullshit. You'll simply get defected and be sent away to get the car inspected. The 10k fine is for WORKSHOPS if found not fitting cats to cars. I've been defected for not running a cat and all I had to do was bolt one on and it was fine.

:P I remember that. Never heard of what happened until now.

but the fact that it's illegal and STINKS out anything it drives past with toxic f*king gasses is shitty.

It annoys me when it's used on the street with regular driving because of the noise and smell.

there is a reason for a Cat converter and the fact that it is being bypassed causes massive toxic gases..

Go hug a tree, hippy. Oh, and if you have one single mod on your car (air filter, bov, exhaust) you've also changed emissions on your car. So stop. Pot. Kettle. Black.

sorry DICK.

those things change emissions yes.

but the altered emmisions are still going through the cat and somewhat cleaned up.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
