all S-pipes pass emissions as long as you install the O2 sensor. They don't affect the cats at all.

So I could pass emissions with megan's S-pipe even though it says for offroad use only at the bottom of the thingy.

...me too

I am planning on buying the Megan Racing S-Pipe MR-SSDP-STC05 and the Drift Spec Cat Back MR-CBS-STC05 and keeping the stock head for right now?

Why DOES this say OFF ROAD use only?
Does this "bypass" my cat?
Is it 100% bolt on?

....... I know jack $&^% about cars

Thanks!

It says off road use only because it is a none OEM part, as stated above you will pass emissions and it doesn't mess with any of the cats. I should bolt on with no problems.

In this case, for "OFF-ROAD" use only just means "no warranty".

Car warranty. It means it will void your factory warranty. They warrant their product.

They warranty it against manufacturing defects, however, if something happens to your car and you try to blame Megan, you're on your own.
