Mellow Yellow,

I think we all know what a catalytic converter does. My question is have you ever taken a look inside a Fox-body catalytic converter? Their aint no beads in there. All it is is a honeycomb of asbestos with a wire mesh surround that super heats as exhaust flows through it. Half the time the cats are clogged up on older cars and not doing their job to begin with.

JP85gt,

If it looks real enough, they may go ahead and ok the visual. However, if your car sounds beasty, they may get a little bit suspicious. Just hope they don't decide to crawl under and take a closer look. If they give you a hard time, just say that the heat sheilds were added for cosmetic purposes for a car show or some crap like that.
