Question O/R X-pipe o2 sensors

Hey guys,

right now now I have a 2006 GT with a JLT Intake, Custom 93 Octane tune, stock h-pipe down to Flowmaster 40s. I am considering putting on an Off-Road X-Pipe. I live in North Carolina so in order to pass inspection you must pass the emissions test (aka working o2 sensors) and with the offroad pipe I don't think that would happen since the cats are gone. I looked on AmericanMuscle and saw the o2 sensor extenders..? I don't know if these would help. But I would really appreciate some help with this with what I could do to pass the inspection without having to "know somebody". Thanks guys!

Those are extension harness for when you buy the cheap Chinese made long tube headers they don't come with them. IMO don't bother with catless pipe, not worth it especially if you're looking for HP it's more trouble then it's worth.

Yea i was mainly looking for the sound rather than HP. I was just wondering if there's any way to get around the emissions.

you could test with the stock h pipe, then switch to the aftermarket one after passing.
but i would rethink the o/r x pipe with the flows, it wont sound that great. IMO.

Good idea, the swap should only take about 20 minutes in and out, put the emissions tune in and drive for about 40 miles and go get inspected.
