Car failed emmissions

Just from my own personal experience using high flow cats on my DSMs, they always needed to be heated up a lot in order to pass emissions, especially if the cat is old. The stockers never needed heating up.

I told him yes and he said he is going to come by my house tonight and get it from me and give me back the full 3" buschur turbo back exhaust, which I will be selling once I get it back.
I traded the evo in fully modded with everything in my signature. Guess the aftermarket cats work a little too well in letting everything out of the car.

Is your car tuned? I don't see any type of tuning. Maybe a Turbotrix or Dynoflash wil help. Also I would return the hiflow cat to Buschur Racing on the grounds of a faulty product.

less money, less thrill, less fun, less life.
that's what i think.
gotta pay to play. sorta cliche, but it's true. I'm going through that same deal with the clutch and the transfer case.
but I can't imagine me driving anything else. Actually I sat down to think about this for a while.
You know, I've been to that easy, comfy luxuriou car period. But I don't think I'm older enough to fully appreciate that sorta comfort.
