They did a really good job putting the little exhaust work on my 73 that I needed completed. They made hangars where the pipes had nothing.

People from really far away will bring work to them, I remember a guy on TGO from Maryland brought his car up here for exhaust

Alright, well now I have thought about this, and Kirk brought it up that even with cats, I still wont pass emissions in NJ. Unlike my fellow LS1 guys here, I cant get by with an OBD II scan and done. I have to still pass the sniffer, and I dont think thats gunna happen.
I dont know if I should spend the money anyway for cats, only for me to fail anyway.

Glad to hear mufflex got you the right number. Hopefully Antony still works there. He has done all the work on my car and my Dad's old vette and both came out great.

I would only go with the cats if you were afraid of a mobile inspection and don't mind the smell. Regarding inspection, you could just have the outer casing welded to the pipe.

Yeah? You went through the trouble of researching to see if you could get the EVAP to work properly, just do the cats and see what happens. If you had something like HPT you could do a performance tune and an inspection tune if necessary. Hydrocarbons is about the fuel trims and overlap while the other stuff is based on timing and whatnot, right?

Also since your car is an 87 the LS1 should run cleaner than the original TPI and since it is older the margins should be higher than for a new car anyway. I wont be doign a cam with my swap but I fully expect it to run a lot better than the TPI ever did.

Its a very good question, I guess I could have it tuned to reduce the HC.

you can store two separate tunes on 99-02 ls1 computers. some dude on ls1tech does it. if i ever end up with 8 coils, i am definitely doing that.
