Default Where to find cat "bypass" tube ???

Searched the archives for all possible combinations, but can't find post for the website for catalytic converter "replacement" pipes can be had. I remember seeing it a while back.
Now that I'm emissions exempt, I want to "retire" the cat !!!!

Try a search for "Test Pipe"
I had one made years ago for a DD by a local mufler shop.

Hey guys -- I'll answer my own post
Had the sneaking suspicion I printed out the long-ago post.....................and I found it.

You can get them at MufflerTech.com (from previous posting)

I am surprised you can still get them. I was pretty sure the government outlawed "test pipes". Your local muffler shop can get a pretty hefty fine, $10,000 each occurance I believe for bypassing the Cat. A local shop here was put out of business for emissions related offences.
