Alright, this sucks. I just got my hotshot header and my stromung exhaust for my 200sx the other day and I went down to my local muffler shop to have them install it, since I'm not much of a wrench head. Anywho, I popped the hood and showed them my new header and the dude was like woah, wait a second, I can't install this. Of course I was a little surprised and then he told me that since the catalytic converter is built into the old exhaust header, he can't remove it because there isn't one on the hotshot header, obviously. He also said that if he did install it, he could be fined and lose his liscense, since it's illegal to not have a cat. Well, great, so now what in the hell am I supposed to do? I asked him if he could install a new cat after the header, but he said he couldn't mess with it at all, due to legal restrictions. I've read about others just using their second cat, but my model 200sx doesn't have the second cat like I at first thought, its got a resonator instead.
So in desperation, I turn to the forum, hopefully I can get some help. I know that if I try I can install the header myself, but then I won't have a cat, and thats just plain wrong. Heh. A solution, yes, but I'd like to still be able to pass emissions tests. And if I could get a new cat installed after the header, just where on the pipe could it go? And would I have to move my o2 sensors? Any help would be seriously appreciated and I know I'm just a stupid newbie, but please don't flame.
