Many states' emissions tests (like PA) require a visual inspection of emissions related equipment, and you want to make sure Mr. Inspector does not find out about your secret (i.e. MYSTERY) mod, or he'll fail you and you'll be forced to buy two new manifolds from Ford. Also why it is a good reason to disguise MIL eliminators if you live in a visual inspection state. 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002

My cats failed at 90k, out of emmissions warranty, so I have no financially feasible choice, $1600 for new OEM exhaust manifolds. 3. What a pain doing it though. 98 Contour LX V6 Mtx

(IANAL). you CAN gut the precats and leave the main cat and still pass emissions... (depending) Well here in IL it is illegal to tamper with emissions control devices. This means that running MIL eliminators is illegal too, as is the 'EGR plate' some have. So be careful.
