So my tags expire in August and it's still blowing blue smoke.

Any suggestions to get it to pass? I think the gutted cat will be the first issue Why me why me?

Good plugs good oil good gas and get the motor as hot as you can without overheating. Backing the timing down 4-5deg helps too

Do you feel that the 7 dollar a piece plugs really worth the money?

No, regular plugs are just fine.

Do I have to replace the gutted cat? Doesn't gutting it raise emisions for the sake of HP?

You wont pass emissions with a gutted cat. I tried it with a well tuned new engine. I have a used CatCo cat I would be wiling to sell for 50.00 bucks. It has a 3" inlet / outlet.

Well since it is still registered to the previous owner in eastern Oregon, Ill just have him re-register it there, and send me the tags. Ive heard from a few people that they don't have emissions restrictions in Baker.

The man might want a payment though...

I'm with Rod. Put a cat on it and register it in your name before you get fined by the po po.

I would prefer to, funding is my biggest issue though...

I think that hole in my muffler the size of a doller might make it hard to test too...
