emission tests?

I recently found out that the town i live in is trying to pass an emissions test law. If so, i have been told by some of my family that i will have to put a muffler on my car. Is this true or will my car pass the emissions test without a muffler?

why the hell don't you have a muffler on your car? and yes you'll need to put one on!

i don't have a muffler cause my car sounds so great without a muffler...when i got my car i took it to a muffler shop and told them i wanted my muffler cut off and they cut it off and welded me a new pipe to the back and a chrome tip on the end of it.

i have always thought that the muffler just controlled sound and not the emissions so why would i need a muffler?

if u have a 4 cylinder I don't care how much YOU think it sounds great it doesnt...I have heard plenty of cavaliers without mufflers including mine right after i hacked the stock exhaust off to put my catback on and it would definitly piss off everyone in my neighborhood...to each his own i guess

i agree with studballs, you should put a muffler on you may think it sounds good but it doesn't and you'll realize that if you get a good muffler you'll realize how much better it will sound

get a full catback performance exhaust system - it will sound much deeper and throaty than straight pipes for a 4 cyl. I went with borla and it sounds so much better. If you have emissions, you'll also have to put on a cat converter if u dont already have one.

It won't pass the VET because "Noise Pollution" counts in emission laws. The don't test your muffler, but it's manditory to have one under that law.

I'm surprised a shop did that for you. They could easily get fined for it.
