    • @mufflertech
      @mufflertech Před 2 měsíci

      You’re missing the point. This is a video that applies to California and the other states that have adopted our rules. Just because a cat solves what the ECU is looking for doesn’t mean it has the correct certification to pass a visual test. Furthermore, the reason that the eBay and cheaper parts are less money is because they have less precious metal in them, they may keep the light off initially, but they will fall off their conversion rate much faster and will need to be replaced a lot sooner.

    I have a 5th gen Camaro SS with and without the factory NPP exhaust option. I’ve had friends do the “fuse pull” method, which leaves the valve open full time; which is good, if you want the exhaust as loud as possible all the time. However, I also thought the factory vacuum actuated system was too quiet for my taste. I ended up getting a ‘Mild 2 Wild’ electronic control system wired up, so that I could open the valves with a controller.

      It’s not that the police don’t care, it’s that they don’t have any teeth. We need to stop blaming law enforcement on these problems and start blaming the law makers. As far as welding a pipe in place of the cat, you may live in a state that doesn’t require it, but California does. And California has more registered cars than any other state, so statistically your idea is not only illegal, it doesn’t work for most owners.

    The higher price comes with the use of a single word in the sentence that comes before or after describing whatever the item might be, and that word is “”Corvette””. although I do suspect a slight premium is added to cover the cost of all the free units that they flood the CZcams influencers with to put a positive spin on their products.

    • @mufflertech
      @mufflertech Před 6 měsíci

      Kevin thanks for your input! I’m afraid I have to challenge your position here. The word “Corvette” has nothing to do with price rather its the low production numbers and the complexity of the needed product to fit a mid engined sports car. Products for front engined Corvette’s were dramatically cheaper as they weren’t nearly as complicated to design which made them more accessible which allowed higher production which lowered the cost even more. Chevy has made a real mid engined contender in the sports car market, this unfortunately creates exhaust systems and other components that have a higher price tag. Thanks for watching!
