In Ontario, as long as you pass the sniffer, you're good.  As far as I can see.

Quote:Emission Control Systems or Devices

      6.1  The following types of systems and devices are prescribed for the purpose of subsection 22 (4) of the Act:

        2.    A system or device that is approved by the Bureau of Automobile Repair, the California Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency or another body specified by the Director as a replacement for the system or device that is being replaced.  O. Reg. 86/99, s. 6.

based on that, it seems a 'high flow' cat could be illegal even though it is a replacement for the OE cat because i don't think these aftermarket cats have CARB or EPA approval?

and also

Quote: 7.  (1)  If a motor or motor vehicle is manufactured with a system or device to prevent or lessen the emission of any contaminant, the following standards are prescribed as additional maximum emission standards for the vehicle:

          1.    The system or device, or any replacement therefor, must be maintained or kept in such a state of repair that it is capable of performing the function for which it was intended.

          2.    The system or device, or any replacement therefor, must be kept installed on, attached to or incorporated in the motor or motor vehicle in such a manner that, when the motor or motor vehicle is operating, the system or device functions in the manner in which it was intended to function.  O. Reg. 343/01, s. 6.

EGR is for emissions reduction right? that section above suggests it is illegal to remove the EGR


i agree with you that if the car passes sniffer what's the big deal.. but if someone wanted to be really picky i think that would be an area they could focus on

what's with no EGR? does it help performance in some way to remove it? or do you have a japanese market motor that never came with EGR (if this is the case, and its for your wrx, mind if i pm you with some Qs?)
