HFC confusion....

First, never trust manufacturer claims. The berks failed VA Inspection for me.


Second, that has nothing to do with the fact that it is ILLEGAL to remove or replace functional factory emmissions equipment, even if it is with something equivalent.

Do people get away with it? Sure. But I don't blame a shop for refusing the work.


Now of course... If you factory cats got damaged somehow...

If VA has some specific state-level rules, maybe. Or maybe the inspection shop just screwed you? Berk isn't claiming off-road-use-only on these, and I can't imagine they've been around doing as much as business as they are if they're risking $25K fine per item for selling them for street use. The easy way to tell if the mfg's claims are correct is to look for the code number on the cat itself, as stipulated by the EPA rules. I never bothered to look at mine ~2+ years ago, I could try with a mirror later.
