Exhaust Modification---info needed
First a hello from a newbie. Well a 73 year old groundhog hunting NEWBIE.
I bought a really nice 2003 F350 short bed to tow our travel trailer. It has the 6.8L Triton V10. The thing really pulls.
It has single exhaust 3" pipe and sounds fair. I was thinking of putting a glasspack on it (drag racer from the 50's), to help it breathe better.
I took it in for PA inspection and emissions. Passed, but YIKES no emissions sticker. Emissions not necessary for a 1 ton. Now me thinks ?
Can you straight pipe that F350 from cat down (no muffler) or before the cat. Will it pass inspection.

Exhaust
LIFTNW8Z:
I live in Lebanon County. Emissions are required, but evidently not on a 1 ton. I was surprised. Really surprised !
It could be that the muffler and or cat fall under safety and not emissions. I would imagine they have to look for exhaust leaks, but does it matter if the 350 has a muffler or cat ???
I am not saying that I want to cut them off, I was going to go Flowmaster. It just raised questions for me. Trying to interpret State Regs did not help me.
