Re: off road pipe

depends on what they do for inspection

if they do a visual you wont pass (dunno if its worth installing the cat look a like things you can bolt onto the midpipe or not)

do they use a tail pipe sniffer? If so I doubt it passes

some states run the pcm through a test and if a certain number of items show "not ready" or that theyre turned off, its not gonna pass. Turning off the rear O2s in the tune actually requires like 3 different settings to be changed so you dont get a CEL which is enough to fail it on its own some places.

might just wanna keep your stock midpipe handy and whenever inspection time comes swap em around...sucks but its foolproof
