Anyone have experience with sikky or ppe headers here in canada and have to deal with emissions ? i wanna throw on some headers on the F, but im worried about the whole process.. Would i have to get cats welded onto my joe z midpipe if i got headers in order to pass emissions ?

 

You would have to get cats welded into the headers actually; otherwise you'll have a CEL and will definitely fail. Cats on the joe-z won't effect whether you throw a code or not but will definitely help with reducing emissions for your test.

 

No, not really. Headers are the same length as the Stock manifold/cat combination. They also contain a flange that mates to either a stock exhaust system or an after market system. Catalytic Converters would be welded into the mid pipe of a 3rd party system as him101 suggests. To avoid a CEL there are electronic solutions or tunable sensors.

Ontario has cancelled the Drive Clean passenger vehicle program, saving taxpayers up to $40 million a year.

Effective April 1, 2019, drivers are no longer required to get Drive Clean emissions tests for their passenger vehicles.

While Drive Clean effectively reduced vehicle pollution, auto industry standards have significantly improved since the program was created in 1999 making this program no longer necessary.

Owners of vehicles are still required to make sure their vehicle emissions systems are operating properly. This means maintenance and repairs are still necessary and will help to avoid more costly repairs. To support this program change, we are strengthening our on-road inspections to ensure owners are properly maintaining their vehicle emissions.

A new, enhanced program will focus on the biggest polluting vehicles such as commercial transport trucks and will ensure that Ontario continues to lead Canada in reducing harmful smog-causing pollutants.
