Smog questions - 99 GT + SLP Loudmouth
Hi, newly registered, but been lurking a long time ;-)
I have an automatic '99 GT Convertible 35th Anniversary and just recently ordered an SLP Loudmouth Catback to wake her up a bit. I'm due for a smog check in a few months and was wondering if I should still pass smog? I'm in northern California by the way. Car is stock other than a CAI. Also, I want to do an x-pipe at some point, would this negativly affect smog enough that I should wait untill after I get it smogged? :dontknow:
Thanks!

In CA, all aftermarket x's are illegal for 4.6 mustangs. The catted pipes will pass the e-check, but not the visual inspection. CARB is pretty *** backwards on these things.
I have the SLP catted x though, but I'll swap my stock pipe back on for e-check. The catback shouldnt affect anything.

You should pass smog no problem, but If the Santa Rosa sound police catch you, you may get a noise ticket. ( I used to live in Rohnert Park, too. I miss El Toritos)
You can replace cats "if" they're defective or inoperable, or the warranty ran out (80k). But from what I understand you can't mess with them otherwise. Well not, legally anyway.
