I just got a 2.5" Cat-less XTC downpipe from a local seller today. Within the next couple of days, depending on this tsunami we have hitting my area currently, I should be installing it to my Megan cat-back.

Anyone have a similar setup to mine?

WhiteSSBalt, if you read this, I know your setup is pretty similar and sounds great.

Hm, no replies...interesting.

Bump.

 

i'm friends with whitessbalt.. what exactly are you looking for.. good buy?? i'm not sure what you want.. you better keep your stock downpipe.. b/c i know MD has emissions.. at least they did when i lived there.

 

They do have emissions. It's okay though because they don't do tests from the exhaust. They do tests from ODB-II port that we have in our cars. The only reason why I would fail would because of my check engine light. There's alternatives to get it fixed though. I bought the downpipe for $110 and it has 3,000 miles on it. I thought it was a good buy.

 

they must've changed the emissions procedure.. i used to have a 1990 oldsmobile and they put something over my exhaust and had to step on the gas and match this line at a certain speed..

 

What is the Right Test for Your Vehicle?

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Test
1996 or newer model year vehicles weighing 8,500 pounds or less and equipped with a computer controlled engine and fuel system

Instead of testing your vehicle’s exhaust, your emissions test will involve scanning your vehicle's computer for emission control malfunctions. During an on-board diagnostics scan, a lane inspector will connect to your vehicle's computer through a connector under the dashboard to determine the presence of recorded “trouble codes” that illuminate the “check engine” light on the instrument panel. Vehicles with an illuminated “check engine” light automatically fail the emissions test.






Straight from Maryland emissions website. Your car was a 1990 therefore it didn't have ODB-II port.

I has a 1992 Toyota Camry before my Balt and they did the same exact thing with my car.

 

hey ssweet bro let me know when that guy wants those springs done i really need the money so i would appreciate the help....**** if i have to ill drive up there to do it for him

 

I talked to him yesterday, he said they they came in the mail. I'll have to ask him.

 

ok yah do that i need the money bad haha ive got some personal finances to take care of

 

Tomorrow, if the rain holds, I'll be putting my downpipe on. I can't wait to hear the difference between the stock downpipe and the XTC.

 

Hey SSWEEET, I see ur from Waldorf, MD. Have you run ur car @ MIR since ur like 15min. from the track? I was there with DUNKINUTS Sunday for a test and tune.

 

No, I haven't ran my car yet. I wanted to while it was stock but it's not stock anymore. Yeah, I am about 15 minutes away from MIR though.
