95 is the way to go:
Ernesto, if your 360 is a regular street 360,
and it's full US spec/OBD-II, and the lights
didn't come on.. something is wrong, or you're
using O2 simulators on your post cat sensors.
Catalyst monitoring is part of OBD-II.
(and it sux ;)
BTW, do you know of Servicio Euromecanico in
Aguadilla?

The check engine light did not come on in my 360.

Unless the inspector is blind, 'test pipes' look
nothing like genuine convertors, unless they are
one-off's specifically designed that way.
Of note, if your 355 is a 96 or later, removing
the cats will set the Check Engine lamp for
catalyst monitoring. This is part of OBD-II
Check Engine lamp = Instant fail of test.

i hear ya but the with test pipes in place i doubt a visual inspection will do harm...i'm not really worried about that...i have no cats on my 300 ZX Turbo and my M3 and they both pass emissions with no problem so if the same goes for the 355, i'm game. |

My 360 passed the test with the setup you mentioned.

I beleive it is illegal to run a new car without cats, that said you would need to get caught. In Nj they have a visual and computer tests so it is hard. other places don't. Some hollow out the cats so to pass a visual. Others have been known to "tip" a private inspector station. Options are endless but get caught it will cost you |

I�m looking to get a Tubi + test pipes and wondering if the car will pass US emissions. |
