I don't know if they do...I heard every five years or something?

So diesels legally don't need a muffler and technically don't need a cat unless equipped from the factory?

I was just in Utah visiting and I went by a muffler shop to see about just cutting out my muffler. They told me (before they knew I didn't live there) that they wouldn't do it since Utah requires a muffler on diesels for their inspections.

Hmmm.

there are no 02 on a diesel.. atleast not mine.
and if you have to worry about having it inspected you will have to have you cat on, or have it look like there is a cat on.. in the old days when i was young and running mustangs we would hollow out the cats. no ford wount know unless you take it in with no cat
