Track rules for exhaust in drifting

what are the rules on exhaust i need to know due to need for custom exhaust if I need a catalytic converter so I can order one with a large diameter or so i can make it straight. Custom turbo set up if you are curious about the need for custom.

You'll need a cat.It can be a high flowing one or stock.

huh? what events do you plan to run in? what series? why would you need a cat? i dont run shi.t for emissions. you guys gotta realise that there is no set of rules that cover everyones events. you could run twin 3" exhaust that cuts out in front of the pass door as long as it dosent say you cant in the rules.

I believe D1 actually requires catalytics, and it's in the rules?

The D1 requires you have a full exhaust that goes to the BUMPER and has a muffler. You are supposed to have a cat, but we didn't really check for that at the Drivers Search at CA Speedway and I can't imagine people checking for it anywhere else especially on some of the SUPER LOW cars. We help people out on fixing some tech problems people have but as more people get into drifting we will have to be more strict and the hillariously high amount of people that should fail tech now WILL fail. So start being responsable and fixing your cars before the events and get a decent helmet. AND FOR ****S SAKE GET A DAMN CLUE AND TIGHTEN STUFF DOWN, MOST TECH GUYS HAVE MORE TO DO THAN TIGHTEN YOUR DAMN BATTERY AND COVER THE TERMINAL WITH TAPE, you know like tech 50-80 cars in an hour to hour and a half.

If you drive at the Las Vegas D1 Drivers Search you will be told to bolt it up or go home.

Why bag on cops for doing their job? You are doing something that doesn't conform to laws they aren't bugging you because it is fun for them.
