Will an exhaust shop even do any work on a car that obviously has not cat on it? I'd like to get my intermediate pipe welded, but I'm curious if they are even allowed to work on a car with no emission stuff on it.

Thanks

 

ask around some shops will do it for u. cash talks. depends on how tough emisson's r in ur area

 

The main issue that shops have is that they will get into trouble if they remove or defeat smog equipment but if it is already removed then I believe that their butts are covered. Try the smaller (non-chain) shops and ask some of your freinds about who is good to work with (referrals like cash also go far)

 

Just find a small independent shop and tell them that you don't need a receipt if they do the work.

 

I've taken my car into the local chevy dealership here a couple times and I don't have cats. They never say anything but they charge me a $5 environmental fee . But we don't have emmissions around here. I don't think they would care since they aren't removing the cats but I guess it depends. Just call around it never hurts to ask.
