If you ever notice the car feeling really sluggish all sudden stop driving it and check the cat before you start scratching your head too long.
Yikes, I've been running the stock cat on my TTS kit at 470whp - and stock exh throughout. I deterred from getting a Berks due to them failing - so I've read. What's the remedy without having to use a test pipe?
There isnt. They all eventually fail. All you can do is keep replacing the Cat or high flow cat and hope you catch it before you risk damaging the engine from the cat melt down. To me its not worth the risk, when a TP is cheaper and more effective and reliable. I respect the environmental/legal impacts however, sometimes there is no good way around that.

Is there a standard routine that folks go through with their emissions check? I'm in MD .... just wondering what people do when they go test pipe and have to run emissions every 2 years?

No way! I've never heard of this. They don't do visual inspection as far as I've seen .... Will definitely look into this.

They come in a package of two. You will need to drill one out and use two of them. Screw into test pipe and install O2 sensor. Clear your codes and you will not get any cel. It's quick and easy.

Just get one of these. Been rocking the same one for 10 years. Cheap and effective, just thread it on and go.
