When you guys are up for emission test with catless pipes wat r u guys doing? Im in NY state

 

switch back to stock.

 

put the stock downpipe in for inspection, otherwise you fail.

 

FAST REPLIES.

Yeah thats wat i was thinking to do lol

how long will it take to switch out and about how much money? i wont be doing myself

 

i advise you do it yourself. should take a half hour if you take ur time. but if u must pay, id say 20 bucks for anybody to do it for you if its a shop.

 

or just take it to a shop that dgaf

 

yeah do it yourself because your gonna have to get it put back on. and keep doing this till you get rid of the car.

 

I am amazed any shop would screw with the emission stuff considering the fine if they were caught.

 

as everyone said switch back to stock or get a tune to shut off your o2 sensor.

and where in NY **** you can pay me to take it off and put it on

 

its not gonna be just 20$ for a shop to do that.... shops is like 70$ an hr bro minimum.

 

I have heard of ppl getting P.O. boxes in counties that have no E checks to avoid them
Also if you have parents that live in a county that has no E checks but yours does you can keep your current address to your license there.
Be warned though that would be false information to the DMV & is a crime lol, just a few options I have heard of.................

 

haha take it off and put it back on after in cali you dont have to smog a new car for like 5 years so im good for awhile but i keep all my old parts

 

In NYS any OBDII car being checked is only checked via CEL. If you have a MIL eliminator or something similar you will be fine as long as you throw a 20 dollar bill or so towards the technician. The rest would be visual and that can be bought.

I did that for years with my 2000 Mustang GT.

 

PA only checks the gas cap, and if you have any codes. My tune has the cat deleated, and my downpipe visually looks catted and functional, because well at one time it was a catted downpipe, haha.

 

Well I live WV, where our inspections consist of some greasy redneck coming out, making you flash your lights, and slapping a sticker on (usually crooked) so I just leave mine on and be happy haha

 

so a zzp 3" catted dp wont give me any problems then?

 

hahaha

As long as you arent throwing a code you will be fine.

 

I have one last question before I buy my pipe, If I go with a catted one say, ZZP with high flow cat, do I need to change back to my stock for the inspection? or will this pass since I do have the cat?

Also, will I get the CEL with the zzp high flow? I will be getting a tune eventually, though. My biggest concern is passing inspection because I won't be doing the pipe myself and rather just keep one on and not touch.

Also the ZZP one is angled so I don't need vibrant defouler?

 

If you have a cat you will pass. End of story there mate.

 

that's why it's good to keep the stock parts laying around,it should take you half hour to re-install it

 

or just pay a good buddy off :-)

 

woa woa woa i dont wanna get smogged that bad mr lol

 

HPTUNERS, Solves Problem. nothing emission wise passes on my car. i have straight 3in exhaust and dumptube (Atmospheric), and im sending flase signals to O2 sensors.

 

it doesn't take that long to change it out especially if you have access to a lift where it would take like 5 minutes but i know in MD they just plug into the OBDII and you are on your way i have never seen them use the mirror on anybody at the inspection center i go to

 

everyone i know just switches their addresses to a relatives that lives outside the echeck county lol
