Ha, that's a good one, Bob..... I think I am going to go the route of using the
down pipe for the '75 B, instead of hollowing out the cat. Fewer
connections to worry about, and I can get $80 for the cat.....

Dan,
There is a fellow in our club who knew his '79 would pass the sniffer
test but would not pass the visual inspection without a cat in the
system.
He slipped a tomato juice can over a section of pipe, fitted flanges,
bolted his device into the system before the annual emission test, and
removed it for safekeeping and loan to friends. The car has a header, so
this device is fitted into the system under the driver seat, in a
straight run of tailpipe. The car is now exempt from testing because of
its age.
