Hi all. Sorry for the same old boring noob question of "will X catback pass inspection," but I've searched and searched and really couldn't find any definitive answers. Maybe my fellow Pittsburghers can help me out.

I'm looking at a few catbacks, but the ones that concern me are the Magnaflow comp series #16580, SLP Loudmouth I, and even Flowmaster Outlaw (which has a really small muffler), because since they are essentially straight pipe muffler deletes, would I have any trouble passing visual inspection? If it means anything, I would be getting it inspected at North Star Chevy in Moon.

I can't imagine anyone would give you a hard time with those catbacks. It's removing the converters which causes problems.

Cat back always passes. It's after the emissions control devices, it has no bearing on catalysts.

It also doesn't really add much power to be worth speaking of. It will change the sound to some degree, but not like headers and cat deletes.

One will also drop some weight getting rid of those huge, stock mufflers.

Never was a fan of how the outlaw sounded on the Mustang, I am sure it sounds like crap on the Camaro too.

I do like the hushpower though.
