    Default Exhaust help in Phoenix

    I need to add cats to pass emissions. Someone in Phoenix recommend a shop or could help me out with this?

    It should only be a gas cap and OBDII readiness check. They usually don't do a visual check on cats, but I've heard of a few people that said they break out mirrors and get nosy underneath.

    My welding tank is empty but you're welcome to take a long drive up to Surprise and burn a couple in, I just need to get some argon.

    You can also just tack weld a couple of cat shields on if you don't want to actually weld on some cats. Like I said it's just a readiness check and maybe a chance you get a visual looking for the cats.

    Even easier then, you're welcome to use my shop to clamp em on. But yeah as long as you aren't throwing any codes and your O2/EVAP mointors are ready, youl pass the OBDII test. If they get really nosy, they might look underneath but that's your call. You pay $30 and I think you get 3 tries to pass the full test.

    Ive been here 9 months and still have IL plates so let me know how it goes. I need to get all my rides registered/smogged here finally.. lol..
