RE: MIL Eliminators and emissions test?
or just put the cats on to take the test...
how often do you have to go ?every 3 years?
my buddy had a 468 ci in his monti carlo he would swap motors to pass emissions , thank god they dont do old cars here anymore

RE: MIL Eliminators and emissions test?
Here is what Brenspeed has said: (RED is me, BLUE is them)
Hello
I want to get your Kooks exhaust setup for my 07 GT. You guys told me before that I might get a check engine light because the cats flow so well. I was thinkng of getting your MIL eliminators to counter this.
I have 2 questions:
1. I want to be able to pass emissions. I know if you turn off the rear o2 sensors it will fail, but if you leave them on and I run the MIL eliminators, is it possible to pass emissions?
2. Is a different tune required to get maximum HP from the Kooks exhaust? (I have your 93 octane tune and JLT CAI already)
Unfortunately the MIL eliminators will not work on 07-08 cars. Without having direct experience with Ca. emissions I find it hard to advise you on this next step. Can you fill me in on exactly which type of test they will perform on your car. I know we have customers in Ca. running these with no problems at all.
Well I am no expert either when it comes to the emissions test. I am sure here in MD it is less strict that in CA. As far as I know with newer cars they just plug something into the diagnostics port under the dash to check for codes.
If I have the Kooks setup on the car, put the stock airbox back on, detune the car, and go to emissions, do you think it will pass?
Dave: There is still going to be 20%chance these headers will throw a code. Kooks say they pass emissions but with the sensitivity of these new cars we have seen an occasional light. Other companies may say something different, but I cannot guarantee an emissions pass in 100% of the cases.
