All videos on youtube I have seen so far reffer to the exhaust being staright piped... no one said anything about cats ... but i might be wrong

What I wrote is straight pipe. What you have is a muffler delete

I was doing 12k a year. Now it will be 3k or so. 90% of shops dont chek for cats on new cars... The plug the car in and see if it passes. Then they move onto brakes or ball joints or what ever else the do. Should they check for cats, yes. But who am i to argue.

[QUOTE=demonspeed;7062621]You had it inspected at your work, correct? Could that have had anything to do with it?

Actually to sell it on the lot, it had to fully pass all inspection/emissions since it was in Allegheny, which it did as it was, previously it never needed emissions however. IPS did good.

And the over 9000 remark is just a reference to something the few gamers here, I hoped would enjoy lol

Anyone interested in going to tnt at PRP tomorrow? '99 vette, a maverick, maybe an audi and myself so far. ZL1, '12 vette, procharger mustang and '12 Camaro vert backed out.

Seer · 10-09-2013, 03:17 PM

Trav2SS · 10-09-2013, 04:00 PM

I'll gladly drive and run someone's car if they are to busy lol

djt81185 · 10-09-2013, 06:48 PM

Badbubba · 10-09-2013, 07:12 PM

Hey all

snymat68 · 10-13-2013, 02:21 AM

Hey all. I'm in Monroeville with a '13 Blu Ray Metallic. I want to get my windows tinted but have a couple questions.

1. What % would look best with the dark blue?
2. What's the darkest you'd go on the windshield for good day/night visibility?
3. Where's the best place around Pittsburgh to get it done?
4. How are the cops around here as far as tint goes? (i.e. how dark could I go without having to worry about getting nailed for it?)
5. What type of tint is best to keep out heat/uv but not mess with antenna reception in rear window?
6. What can I expect a good job to cost for all 6 windows?

Trav2SS · 10-13-2013, 11:19 AM

My opinion is..

1. What % would look best with the dark blue?
IMO I would say like 35% without getting to dark, these cars dont let alot of light in as it is, so it gets dark quick, espically with no sun roof..

2. What's the darkest you'd go on the windshield for good day/night visibility?
If you mean the front Windshield is illegal, very and will get noticed, unless your an athlete or famous that will definately get you pulled over probably.. lol. I had 35 on sides, 20 on back.

3. Where's the best place around Pittsburgh to get it done?
Depends.. there was a guy who goes around to shops and does it around here very good, he had a charger or something is all i remember, he came to Aqua wave detail place on mcknight to do my car. Cant remember name sorry.

4. How are the cops around here as far as tint goes? (i.e. how dark could I go without having to worry about getting nailed for it?)
I think this can all depends, you just never know. Drive like an ass and stand out and all the more reason to be stopped. In my old car I drove by the same police/area for 3 years then one morning I got stopped for it, but not before and I retinted after removing, and went another 2 years without getting stopped in the same area/ near same police. But I never was followed or even looked at in my yellow camaro with tint.

5. What type of tint is best to keep out heat/uv but not mess with antenna reception in rear window?
Whatever they use? I dont think this is an issue at all?

6. What can I expect a good job to cost for all 6 windows?
From maybe 100-175.. depends who and darkness.

BreakingBad · 10-15-2013, 05:32 PM

I always go 5% tint, but like others have said this greatly reduces visibility after say 5-6PM when the sun starts going down...but IMHO, it looks the best compared to others.

Cops in pittsburgh really won't mess with you unless you are blatantly breaking traffic laws, blasting a stereo system, showing off, etc. I was pulled over twice for tint, but both in my old trailblazer. Owned camaro with tint now for 16 months and passed many cops (5%) and never done anything. I've had cops to my house (lol) and they do nothing but compliment it.

I got mine done at Auto Illusions - they use quality tint and the tint guy is very good...but then again I haven't been there for over a year..
