Fellas:
Well, it looks like I will need a new muffler and also will need to add a cat to my 76 914. Some of the mufflers I'm seeing on the net or 914s don't look like they'd fit my car. Can you guys tell me what you think of your mufflers and where did you buy it and how much did it cost? I am assuming I will need to add a cat to my car in order to pass emissions here in WI. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated. Thanks! Andy... |

do you fit in this category:
QUOTE Vehicle emission testing Where tests are required | When tests are required | Testing stations | Procedure Motor vehicles are a major source of air pollutants in metropolitan areas. Vehicle exhaust emissions include carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In Southeastern Wisconsin, motor vehicles emit about one-third of volatile organic compounds (mostly hydrocarbons) and 60% of carbon monoxide present. The federal Clean Air Act spells out air quality standards that all areas of the United States must meet. Southeastern Wisconsin is one of over 90 metropolitan areas in 35 states violating these standards. The Clean Air Act mandates the operation of state-administered vehicle emission inspection and maintenance programs in many of these areas, including Southeastern Wisconsin. The purpose of the Wisconsin Vehicle Inspection Program (VIP) is to identify vehicles: With excessive exhaust emissions and require them to meet reasonable emission standards to reduce vehicle-related air pollution That have experienced emission equipment tampering, regardless of how caused. The owners of these vehicles are required to have "tampered" items repaired, replaced, or adjusted to proper working order before the vehicle can be registered. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sets the emission standards for vehicles. Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) administers the Vehicle Inspection Program. Where tests are required Emission tests are required on automobiles and on trucks with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight less than 10,000 pounds that are customarily kept in: Sheboygan County and the southeastern Wisconsin counties of: Kenosha Milwaukee Ozaukee Racine Washington Waukesha |
