New SCCA STS rule change proposed
Quote:
Add new 14.10E, re-letter subsequent sections accordingly:
“E. Catalytic converters may be replaced by aftermarket units. Replacements must: 1) be certified for use in that vehicle application
by the manufacturer or reconditioner, 2) bear correct EPA-mandated labeling, 3) be of the OE quantity and type (i.e. oxidation,
three-way, etc.) and 4) be used in the same location(s) as the OE converter(s). This does allow for high performance replacements,
provided they meet all restrictions herein.”
Woohoo! I can get a high-flow cat and stay in STS

Alright! Now I have to spend more money! lol
This was actually what kept me from getting a high flow in the first place but now I'm kinda sick that I can actually use one, I don't want to spend much more money on my ride.

Does a Random Tech High Flow cat even meet EPA standards and regulations?

It is the SCCA classification for cars that are original from the factory, but allow minor modifications.

Examples include:

- Air Filter element change. Such as a K&N, but doesn't allow CAI systems

- CAT back exhaust

- OEM equivalent suspension replacement

- R Compound tires
