as far as i know obd2 made the sniffer test obsolete. but yes there is a chance if your car is way too loud or exhaust smells to much that they will inspect. but the guys that work at the shop i take my car to dont really give a damn. they are usually excited about getting to drive it to test the brakes and hear it start up.

You used 3 of the defoulers? I hope you're not using one on one of the front sensors (with the green connectors)!!!
Yeah, the 'nonfouler' is one solution that seems to work. I use a different solution, however.
And for the record, in Texas we can have 1 system 'not ready' in 2005 and newer, 2 in 2004 and older (more or less, it may be 2003/2004). You can get your car 'ready enough' after 1 full drive cycle and during the 2nd cycle; I do it every year.

thanks fellas. got it all sorted this weekend. climbed under the car and took all the clamps off the h pipe. the passenger side had a half in gap between h pipe and the cat. guess when i had the ubolt bolts pointing downwards and it hit a speed bump it pulled it apart. pushed it all back together tightened everything down and been about 200 miles with no CEL poping back up.
So yup the defowler trick works. no need for the mils. I did use a total of 3 defowlers on each side though.
and yes cars will pass in texas with the defowler trick. we do not use a sniffer unless its pre-95 i think...so as long as the tech doesnt LOOK for a cat...then its not missing.

sorry whats COT? I have a BAMA tune on the car. so the car isnt running rich or lean. I just dont want to use the Tune to disable the rear O2 because it wont pass emissions that way, it will throw that the system is disabled.

Cat Over Temp. If you eliminate the cats you must also turn this off or your car will continue to dump fuel which are no longer present.

damn light came back on saying bank 1 is too lean. that is passenger side correct? and lean would mean too much oxygen right? Maybe i need to remove a defowler to get more emissions to hit the o2 sensor. but its odd only 1 side is throwing that code. the other side is just fine
