Passing inspection with no cats
Hey guys. I am probably going to soon get an offroad xpipe. I was wondering if it was easy for you guys to pass inspection. I heard now it's hooked up into the computer instead of the tail pipes or something. I have a mechanic who can probably pass me but any advice would be appreciated. Also is the offroad pipes w/o cats wayy too loud and does it increase mpg w/o cats?

no but seriously man mils are really so your cars compy thinks it has all the correct emmisions control stuff when it doesnt so your car wont run like ****. any mechanic with eyes and a sense of smell will be able to tell you nixed the cats. Now you have 4 choices:
1. Find a friend who's a mechanic
2. Bribe a mechanic
3. Switch to your catted midpipe for inspections
4. You still could get your wife/ hot gf to flash him....I'd go with that one....post pics

yeah its gonna smell like gas, here in IL there is no visual inspection and a buddie of mine just passed running the prochamber and american thunder catback.
disconnect the negative termainal of the battery a few minties before u go, this clears all the codes.
