I put a header on my car when i replaced my engine, the mechanic pulled off my catalytic converter when he did this, the header came with a pipe that holds the second 02 sensor, so do i need the converter to pass inspection???? I need to know soon cuz my inspection is coming up next month

 

yes, it is a federal law that you must have a cat.

 

If you need one I have one sitting around. It's in good condition and has the gasket with it.

 

yea, u will need da car especially if ur in a smog required state

 

So he took it off, did he keep it or did you take it with you? If he took it i would go back down to that sob and get it back, he probly sold it to make a few bucks.

 

thanks and i might take you up on that, im going to check and see if the mechanic still has it first, if he has it then im n the clear, ill let you know for sure tomorrow

just wanted to say thanks for everyones help

 

If he doesn't have it, he owes you one. He had no right to take your original cat.

 

Yea, just let me know tomorrow if you don't have it.

 

So what did you hear from your mechanic?

 

he didnt answer my calls and i didnt go over there due to the rain, i guess ill try again tomorrow, sorry it took me so long to get on today i had to work last night and when i woke up today just a bunch of **** to do at the house, ill know for sure tomorrow night...
