Was this due to failing the visual inspection or failing the sniffer? If it was the sniffer that failed, do you have other issues that might effect the outcome of the test or is everything else good?I use one right now, but the Jeep will not pass smog.... I needed a really small one to fit for the flat skid and it worked great unit registration came due!

Aside from being a better fit for packaging above the skidplate, I want to know how well these things actually work compared to a stock cat.
Since modern cats flow pretty well (you can see right though 'em and a larger cat = larger element = more airflow) the spun ones seem kinda half-assed unless you need a tiny sized cat OR just want to clean up the exhaust smell.

I want it for a better package above the skid plate...pretty flat and tight in there and for the smell. The spun ones are just real small. Less material to actually do the job they are supposed to do. I don't imagine there would be any benefit to putting them on from a performance standpoint. I'm running a stock 4.0 so performance isn't what i'm going for.Was this due to failing the visual inspection or failing the sniffer?

If packaging is what your after then a spun cat is what you want. If you have tags and need to go through emissions, Id dig deep and see if it'll work. Md tests your gas cap, looks with a mirror, and scans for OBD2 codes. California, however, gives you and your car a colonscopyI want it for a better package above the skid plate...pretty flat and tight in there and for the smell. The spun ones are just real small.

I could see why it failed if you installed an Eken Android Tablet as a catalytic converter. But if you could get it hooked up to play music out the tail pipe than it would be bad ass.It failed on the sniffer test, the Jeep never failed prior to installing this style of cat http://bai.lu/uMJBX
Just wanted to correct you on this Timmy. There is no testing, even around Detroit. There hasn't been testing in Michigan since mid 90s.Michigan says "write me a check and you get your plates."
Unless you live in the 3 counties around Detroit. Then they do the sniffer. I am FAR from Detroit now.
