Does the stock exhaust on the 6th gen VFR have a catalyzing mechanism in it (coated baffles) to help reduce emissions?  Just wondering if there is an increase in emissions when changing exhausts.  Are some exhausts EPA/CARB approved?  
Thanks

Yes, all VFR's from 2000-up have Cats, at least here in the USA. Guessing it's World Wide. :blink:

BTW welcome to VFRD! :laugh:

Yes they have cats.

All of the aftermarket exhaust systems for the VFR are slipons that are after the cat, so no effect on emissions (well sound, obviously).

I think there was one manufacturer who made aftermarket headers years ago for them, Predator, but they are $$$$$$. You can also fit stock headers from 98-99 model year VFRs, as they have no cats.
