Default Emissions

If i got a midpipe without cats, and then shut off the o2 sensors with a diablo sport, would i still pass emissions; they use the computer for mine........

I don't thnk so. The O2 sensor is a vidal part of your emmision control. And if I'm not wrong if the O2 sensor does not work the computer will detect that you'll fail. I do not know about the cats and if just two are enough.

if im not mistaken, they actually check the emissions coming out of the car so shutting off the 02 sensors will not help

NO, only on some cars, with newer cars, they pull the info from your computer and require no exhaust sample because the newer cars constantly monitor themselves so if something is wrong, they know. But i was wondering if you were to just shut off the cel light would they still pull the info from the o2 sensors

2 cats should be enough because they would say for off road use only if they didnt pass cali emmisions...no way in hell would you pass emmisions with an o/r midpipe...hence the name off road midpipe as in for track applications only unless you live in states like michigan or indiana that dont test for emmisions then youll need to find a buddy who does state inspections
