And.. I don't mean talk with a smog tech. I mean find one of those who seem to pass more cars than usual, for a small fee.
And.. S14DB gave you a perfect example. Platinum is the best catalyzer for exhaust emissions. Ya, it's expensive. But so is the $5000, 225hp motor that I laid out last page. Can you not pony up the extra cash for a metal cat and pass smog?
Because right now.. you have a few issues. 1) You either don't understand or don't give a damn what people with more knowledge on the subject than you have to say. 2) You seem to be deluded with thoughts of a 300whp KA, yet need it to be cheap. And 3) You seem to need to pass smog legitamately (with a sniffer, not a 'nice' smog tech), and the cheapness from issue 2 is preventing that, too.
Anyway, you can do whatever. I'm probably not going to post here unless somebody quotes me. But - at your current rate, you'll never hit your car's max power, because your beliefs and lack of willingness to put money in the right places (better single cat or removable 2nd cat for smogging).

All I can say is that you have some personal issues that seriously need to get worked out..... I guess being anal is one of them.......
If I installed a second CAT the referee wouldn't even smog me do to the visual inspection. There is no way in hell I am paying a $1000 dollars for a metal CAT. It benefit's more for FI engines that are making over 300HP and make excessive fuel dumping to make that power, something which my NA won't be making.
The CATCO CAT was rated the best CAT for effeciency and price, was much more affordable than random Technology with the same benefits (random costed $300, I welded flanges on the CATCO and bought it for $50). I still use my AIV system that keeps my CAT nice and hot to run at maximum effeciency............ Just installed a new egr also it sucks up exhaust gasses just fine.........
