They get very nervous about getting fined, so if you take your car placed to get worked on, something to think about.The state troopers can also be ball-busters with regards to excessively loud cars (if you live close to metro Boston. You might be OK outside of 495).  It ends up being a hassle which is why I have high-flow cats on my Foxbody. I'm too old to be bothered with that stuff.No code will be generated on the 87-95 cars, and it's perfectly fine to run 2 cats.  I have a Bassani catted X-pipe on my car.</blockquote>
