Any way to "cheat" inspection?

I know you guys have been telling me this, but its NOT what JDM is telling me so I am stuck between 2 great deals of advice lol. I sent JDM an email asking if they can turn my rear 02's on and if they do I am going to try the anti fouler trick. All I have to do is once a year put the anti foulers on and turn the rear 02's on to pass inspection I should be good. If JDM cant turn the rear 02's on I WILL BE PISSED!!!!! If they respond and say yes they can do it I will order the cats and anti foulers tomorrow

Exactly all I need is for this tune to be on for 3 days out of the whole year just to pass inspection. If JDM does turn them on for me I am going to order the cats and foulers, try with both of them installed and see if it throws a code. If it does throw a code I have no choice but to remove the headers, but I am hoping all will be good.

Autos221 have you tried this before? This is what I was going to try when JDM turns my rear 02's on. I was thinking about adding the cats anyway though to tone down the exhaust a bit, but in the mean time I would just like to get the inspection issue out of the way.

I wish you luck. I have never been able to pass NYS inspection with anything other than my stock tune. Yes, I asked Brenspeed to write an emissions friendly tune with the rear O2 sensors on, and they did. Still won't pass. After failing two years in a row with two different "emissions friendly" tunes, I now just put the stock tune in, drive it for a while and then have it inspected. Let me know how you make out, mine always read "sensors not ready" even after driving it 150 miles. It isn't simply the rear O2 sensors.

The only mods I have are a CAI, tune, and FRPP axle back mufflers. I have tried tunes from VMP and Brenspeed, specifically asking for emissions friendly tunes with the rear O2 sensors turned on. Neither passed. Each year I take off the CAI, put my stock air filter on, reload the stock tune, and get the car inspected. Getting it done today as a matter of fact. Last year I even called Brenspeed and talked at length with a technician. I finally decided that it is easier just to switch back to stock than to keep taking it even 3 or 4 times before I got the sticker.
Has anyone given any thought to photoshopping the NYS inspection sticker?

People need to know they can find out before they go in if there going to fail for O2 readiness. All you need is your tuner, a usb cable (for SCT anyway), and a laptop with there software you get for free. I dont recall the exact name of the sensor but its easy enough to find when poking through the availables.
