I just came out and told him my situation. He said they will look up my VIN and verify a cat exists as well as perform the opacity test.

Whole, or did you fix it for "visual" function only?

whole, just had the shop cut it off the exhaust that came on the truck and weld it in place. Now it is much quieter...I should have just done the muffler delete in hindsight.

Can't you just re-install 'missing' components with the wide band clamps to pass the inspection? If so, those are great because they only take a couple of minutes to install or remove 'things' . . . .

(I can post pics if need be. . . . . )

Absolutely - that's what I plan on. Just have to find a cat. Mine was removed by the original owner.

Check at muff shops. I see piles of them laying behind them all the time. If you can't find one, let me know. I could ask if I could have one from the local shops and if so then just mail it to you.

That's a great idea, thanks! I just need to remember to stop and check them out. I think the big 4-inchers from our trucks may be a little scarce....

They did not have a cat in '99. If it had a cat from the factory they are supposed to check for it. Nevertheless, I'm going to try it the first time and see what happens. I'll have one ready to install if I run into problems. I suspect many testing stations don't really follow the rules and just want to collect their fees and be done with it. But you never know...

Ditto. I have a straight pipe from the turbo back and have been approved many years in a row. I've even been approved with only the downpipe!
