[s-cars] Exhausting Morning

[John Cunningham]

Amazingly enough for Mass, our cars have fallen off the time-line for 
emissions so you don't even get checked for that anymore so the cat is 
not an issue unless it gets clogged and chokes the motor. And MA isn't 
super fussy for the most part about actual exhaust. Our Jeep has had the 
exhaust rusting out for years and I keep expecting it to get failed but 
it doesn't. In another state it would for sure get flagged.

That said, it is up to individual inspection stations and the ones that 
are jerks/trying-to-drum-up-business might fail something that was 
starting to rust...

And THAT said, I'd agree w/ Peter, the ejected carbon likely has nothing 
to do with your exhaust system, unless it's related to a clogged cat...
