as I got older, I now only use catted downpipes on my cars

The smell does not make me feel sick, but im embarrassed to keep getting asked if I have a fuel leak every time I turn on my car.

When I’m warming my car up in the morning, I could smell the exhaust fumes with my windows up. Could this be harmful to health? I have no clue. :dunno:

Like all the warnings say on various items. In the state of California running catless has been found to cause cancer haha.

Are people really this scared of fumes? Grew up riding in the back of a station wagon with the window down and leased gas.
Is this a snowflake characteristic?
LOL, I don't see it that way

Funny you mention that; I was smoking hookah with my dad last week, and he was telling me how back in the day they did not use hookah tips, and they never even thought about it or got sick.

Things evolve, and we try to do better, that's all.

For me, it's fine when I'm outside but catless fumes in an enclosed space like the Supra cabin cause a reaction.

Nah, it's more like allergies, some people are affected, others don't really notice. Definitely not a "snowflake" characteristic.

It’s best to have a tune when catless.
it does smell but if you put in an ethanol blend the smell is sweet.

I have to get emissions testing every 2 years. It won’t pass with a sniffer test.
when the snow clears up I am going to get an obd2 test as as in see what happens. In MO I have have one system be “not ready”

worst case, switch to stock dp, flash to stock. Drive a bit. Retest. Then undo all of that and repeat 2 years later
Are you typically able to pass the emission inspection if a catted dp is used? I’m in PA which requires annual emission and I’m struggling to decide between catted dp + cutback or just a loud cat back. Thanks in advance!
