OK, if you have to swap out heat exchangers every two years, has anyone thought of a setup whereby you leave the passenger side SSI in and just swap out the driver side with the original HE and cat? If you modify the original oil lines (see separate thread) it seems possible. Keep the 2 in muffler; you'd be getting half of the exhaust through the cat and perhaps enough to pass emission test, and it would be a lot easier to do the swap.

Not really...most smog techs don't understand the concept of air cooled cars and heat exchangers....they look like big old cats to most of them...
