Cats..

[Decoy]

Someone removed the exhaust from the front of the cat to the tailpipe, welded in a 2' piece of pipe then a muffler, so my exhaust ends right under the passenger seat of the B2.

I had a 2006 gmc Serra with a setup just like that when I got it. It had a great sound (although loud) and I never changed it. I never saw anything wrong with it other than the emissions issue.

1975 and newer, except Honda Civics until 81 or 83.

Hmm, wonder why not the civics.

I seem to recall an exemption for certain weight class/trucks which weren't require to add cat and go to unleaded until 79.

We had a 78 Suburban that took regular at that time as it was called instead of unleaded.

Mine sounds like crap because the exhaust header gaskets are well I'm guessing not there anymore. Every time I get close to having the money saved up to have the exhaust replaced something else happens and I have to put that money to something else. I'm not even sure if I want to waste the money on replacing the exhaust because it needs major body work to the tune of $5k+ not worth it considering that's about 1/2 of my annual income. I'm seriously thinking about counting my $975 as a loss an just having it hauled off at this point rather than tossing money at a dead horse. The previous owner pretty much ran my B2 into the ground. Engine, transmission, axles, t-case, etc are fine just the rest of the truck is toast LOL.

It's usually the other way around, isn't it? Lol! But it's ok the body is optional. ;-)
You're probably right, though. If this is a daily driver and not a toy truck, it needs to be more than 4wheels and an engine. It may be wise to sell it "as is" and pick up another one in better shape. That's the funny thing about these trucks. They're cheap to buy, expensive to own. (Old parts to be replaced and all)

Honda was able to meet tail-pipe standards without them.
