No problem man, it's here if you need it.

Note though, I don't have the oem gaskets with it as they are paired on with my test pipe on the vehicle. But the cat itself has probably 8,000 miles on it at best, though that doesn't matter much, no real surface rust, should go on without an issue. Just give me a day or two advance notice, PM me if anything.
Okay cool, if you want i could buy you gaskets for letting me use it?

You stuck your whole body out of the car to wave to me once. I thought that was very nice of you.

I recently took emissions on my Honda Fit and they did a visual test this time. So you might have to get a used cat some where. If not a test pipe with defoulers usually works.. i'm in the Cook county illinois area.

Honestly bro, you don't need to, I just have this sitting in storage, wrapped away carefully and in a box.
If you need the gaskets for you to run it to pass, go ahead, but if you don't - I'm fine with you borrowing it without the need to buy me gaskets, but it's your call of course.

PM me whenever you need it.

I can be a back-up for a CAT loan if you need it. It's been sitting up on the top shelf in my garage for 11 years now.
You can even use my lift for installation and removal.

just from my experience:

i had the core of my stock cat break loose during a track day and sheer off the tip of the o2 sensor. i got the cat replaced with a test pipe as well as throwing in a spacer for the new sensor. no cel a year later. took all of 30 minutes to do. i don't know if we have a visual inspection here but i took it in just for the hell of it and passed no problems. and i actually track my car instead of hardparking in a parking lot and circlejerking over whose shiny 30lb wheels fit the worst so visual inspection might not be an issue anyways.

Harry's lift is fairly low, I remember seeing it back when I used to have Facebook. I recall it was a scissor-jack style. Bendpak I believe.
