I looked at the work while I was under the car doing other things, and it's a really nice job. Very smooth bends, right where they should be, proper brackets and hangers, and even a chrome tip on the muffler!<br /><br />I'll find out next week when I get it smogged. I have several choices for a high performance converter, but why spend the $$ if it doesn't need it?drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-44504940177496413702018-04-11T17:12:37.193-07:002018-04-11T17:12:37.193-07:00Do the HiPo cat back and be done with it! :-DDo the HiPo cat back and be done with it! :-DOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-61476830680807247062018-04-11T11:29:56.800-07:002018-04-11T11:29:56.800-07:00The BG stuff is supposed to be good.

I ran a double dose of it through the Supra after I bought it, and it seemed to help the idle smooth out, but that also could have been the two oil changes (with a can of engine flush each time)within 500 miles!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-60860242849585864392018-04-11T11:27:56.654-07:002018-04-11T11:27:56.654-07:00If we would have bought a place a few miles East (...If we would have bought a place a few miles East (or North) of here we'd be out of the part of Larimer County that requires them.<br /><br />The Supra will get "Collector Vehicle" plates, which only require a smog test every 5 years.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-27677602183637907412018-04-11T07:53:08.053-07:002018-04-11T07:53:08.053-07:00As a long term Colorado smog test scofflaw I wante...As a long term Colorado smog test scofflaw I wanted my gas tank at about 1/4 tank. I would add two bottles of rubbing alcohol about four blocks from the test facility. If that didn't work, it was off to NAPA for a can of BG44K. The stuff is expensive. Chevron "Techron" is said to be the same formulation for far less coin. Not sure of that. <br /><br />Years back I needed to be licensed to sell insurance (big profit center in car dealerships). Took a preparatory class. The instructor was clear, he was teaching us how to take the test, not anything about insurance. That is my approach to to smog tests.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-43013590011502751312018-04-11T00:22:40.135-07:002018-04-11T00:22:40.135-07:00There are no smog tests required for my area in AZ...There are no smog tests required for my area in AZ...and I don't plan to smog test a car ever again.
