i am from philly and i asked this question earlier because everyone around here is running catless mid pipes (dunno how but they do)

[ol][*]either go to a really shaddy place where they won't care[*]slip the mechanic an extra bill[*]take it to someone you know
[/ol]

Exactly. I have shortie headers, BBK off-road X, and Mac catback. I have found a guy who will just pass that part of the inspection. Otherwise, it would fail the sniffer test.

Justin97gt

I thought on OBDII cars they dont do the sniffer anymore, isnt it only plug in?

Zoie_daGT

No, OBD II cars do get tested as well. I am not 100 percent sure but I would say approx. 95 percent

I have the MAC X pipe with Dynomax hi flow cats welded in (last time I ever weld something in myself) because I don't want to screw around with being hassled getting my car inspected. I even put the bungs in the x-pipe so I could plug in the O2 sensors.

I just called a place called mighty muffler, thats owned by evolution perfromance just to see what it would cost for cats....they want 500 for 2 cats and install....wow

I still have to get confirmation on this, but I heard that in Pa if you don't drive more than 5000 miles a year, you get an automatic waive of the emissions test. I do know a place where I live (downingtown) that has no problems with you running long-tubes (blind eye), but don't know about mid-pipe.
