=D>SHE PASSED the smog test today!!!! After thermal wrapping the cats, new o2 sensors, propane testing for intake leaks we pre tested the Z, would pass the 2500rpm test but failed the idle test for HC ppm. Sh---t!!!. That was last Thursday. Put the car on my lift and removed the manifold/cat assembly, guess what I found??? Someone gutted the cats, no honeycomb at all. 12 hours later both used cats I got from Pete in Ill. were installed. Official smog test showed only 3ppm at both idle and 2500rpm, and 0 CO's, so clean you could breath the exhaust. WAH HOOOO!!
