Thank you sir, this is the only possible explanation and I will try to find someone to help square this away. Thank you all so much for your help, this means so much to me.

False statement from newbie mechanic, he didn't realize there were aftermarket cats welded in.

Problem solved, I need to up my xanax.

So it failed a visual inspection? The "mechanic" did not know what he was looking at, thought it did not have cats on it and failed it? Just trying to get this straight in MY head.

Really a V8 without cats is quiet as a V6..right.
