I live in texas where it's mandatory to get your truck inspected once a year. I'm wondering if I delete my rear cats will I fail my inspection? Or do they not care or even look at that?

 

Yes, you will fail.

A couple of FYI's

1. Removing the cats will really not gain much power.
2. Even if you were exempt from inspections, you are not exempt from the requirement to have them- even US Fish & Game Wardens carry a manual that identifies each vehicle and the required smog equipment, illegal engines changes, etc with pics of how to ID.
3. Any law enforcement officer (including fish & game), EPA inspector, etc. can impound the vehicle and cite it as a gross polluter
4. Once cited, a judge will decide if the vehicle is to be scrapped or returned to the owner- and you do not have any opportunity to speak in court- just required to sit & listen.
5. if the vehicle is returned- guess what, now you have to repair and take the vehicle to a federal referee station for the rest of "its life" for a smog inspection & test.

IMHO, it's not worth the risk versus the little gain.

 

Around here in FL they don't care we don't have any kind of yearly inspection, and getting pulled over for exhaust is almost always because of noise at night and they just tell us around here to lay off the gas so much (alot of people run straight pipe+ straight pipe cats). I'm only worried about the Fish and Game Warden when I keep too much fish lol.

 

^ He is from CA. Poor fellow.

 

thats what 'hi-flow- cats are for. mufflers designed to increase HP and pass emissions.
throw some real money on true duals man

 

Every state is different but in MO they never check. It seems like its a felony in CA though. Check with the other guys from Texas.

 

Texas isn't as brutal on emissions as CA is... you'll be fine blumpkin

 

LOL X2!
