Test Pipe Vs. 100 cell cat
Sorry for the delayed reply but YES,it did pass no problem. I am in CT. and we are only second to Cali. in the strictest emissions laws known to the free world.
It is only a OBD scan and then a complete visual inspection and the emissions testing station that I went to the Tech that was doing the testing went to rear of vehicle and layed the "sniffer" close to exhaust to see if a cat was present,and it was,then proceeded to check with a mirror under car anyways.

I'm gonna give this a try too. I'll let you all know if I pass.

Perrin Intake
Cobb TBE (Quiet, Unobtrusive) with 100 Cell HFC
O2 Housing
LICP
Walbro 255 lh
Wideband
Crankcase Vents
Open Source Tune with ECU Controlled Boost
And no cams.
Did I miss anything for basic bolt-ons?
compared to 300 cell, my MIL spec 100 cell cat is very similar in exhaust sound...both are much quieter than test pipe. Smell wise, 100 cell is bit stronger than 300 cell unit...but much less so than test pipe.
I appreciate the reply. I was afraid of the 100 cel acting like a test pipe, noise-wise, and I'm glad to hear your impressions. I may replace my Works HFC with the 100 cel next spring.

I just got this installed on my car in combo with BR O2/DP and a tanabe touring medalion and I am WELL impressed.
It's only slightly louder than stock (I was shocked, almost disappointed), it has virtually ZERO HFC smell and pulls like a freight train.
I can't believe how quiet the car is. compared to my 02 WRX with Vishnu Signature Series TBE w/HFC and Magnaflow muffler is is much quieter and MUCH less smelly. I'm VERY happy with this puchase. This car is turning into a serious sleeper.
