I have a very simple questions for Texans or anyone that is familiar with O/R pipes. I am interested in getting an X-pipe for my 03 GT, but my car is registered in TX and i need to find out if it will pass the emissions test. your help is appreciated, as I am not very familiar with the TX Laws. If it is legal, which ones do you recommend.

o/r pipes arent legal in any state....

it just depends if your state enforces the law, for instance, in SC theres no emissions and no one ever gets in trouble for them, in Virginia youd get screwed

boy your glad you know me!! lol jk

in houston dallas and i think austin they sniff your pipes..

but in san antonio they do not! even though there have been talks of starting to checking exhaust

i have a o/r xpipe with flows and i have my inspection in may
plus you can just go to a shady shop and tell them straight up u dont have cats! the worst they'll do is say no

i used to work at a car wash with a oil change and lube place next door and one of the guys would take a stack and just sell them like girl scout cookies

the mustang is very popular in this city and you could spot a mustang with a o/r pipe every where u look

yeahh some inspection stations enforce it but others do not. i just recently got my inspection in february and they didnt even look under the car. it just depends where you take it.

no they are not legal but but in 96 and up cars they do not sniff they check your obd 2 for inspections not sniffer. They however do, do a visual inspection

I've never had a problem. I'd say that most of the small rural towns don't even think about that.

Here in houston its illegal. But really, so? Just take them off.
