pypes o/r x pipe

im wondering if it will pass inspection.....
i know a lot of you have it, but if its "off road" then how is it legal?
i dont realy mind swapping exhausts once a year to make it pass inspection

The "off road" pipe eliminates the Cat's. The reason I went with the FRPP X-Pipe is that it keeps the Cat's in their original position, no emissions problem when inspection time comes around.

RE: pypes o/r x pipe
It's "illegal" here in Florida. But we dont have inspection. I guess a cop would be able to bend down and take a peak, not see them, then ticket me.
Btw i would not buy pypes. In some cases the fitment quality is TERRIBLE. Before I got my headers i had an o/r x pipe from them and the bung was welded in the wrong place, I had to close that one and re-weld another. I know a few others that had issues as well.

RE: pypes o/r x pipe
WHile they do sound bad ***, they are illegal because of no convertors--which is what makes em loud. If you have emissions testing, forget about passing. If its visual, you have a good chance, because most inspectors don't look/care that much(I dont for the most part).
Every aftermarket pipe for these cars with cats sounds no different than the stock unit IMO, and is a waste of money if you ask me, as really they gain no power.
