Hey guys,
Looking to go catless headers... I'm new to jersey so what are my chances of failing inspection?
Thanks
You gotta be effing kidding me... So you can never go with LTHs in this pos state?
If you bought your truck new in Jersey then you have 5 years before inspection. If you bought it out of state, you are screwed if you pull off the cats. Welcome to New Jersey. The small power increase isn't worth the inspection troubles you will have. Leave the cats in place.
its new and jersey bought... I'm still not switching it out after 5 years. do the aftermarket cats actually work? anyone running LTHs with after market cats passing this BS smog sniffer?
My father has a tuned 07 Z06 with longtube headers and catted x-pipe and passes inspection no problem. Different vehicle but I would consider a tune if you’re changing those parts anyway.
Its not the sniffer, its the visual that will fail. Im in PA and had longtubes on my chevy. I passed inspection for 3 or 4 years but was very selective about the shop I took it to. Had the same shop inspect it every year because I knew they didn't really do a visual. It was tuned so, rear O2's were eliminated so no codes.its new and jersey bought...

I'm specifically asking for Jersey. LTHs shouldn't fail an inspection here by themselves but a sniffer theyd def fail
He means NJ doesn’t have the sniffer. All they do is look to see if you have a catalytic converter and plug into your OBDII port to make sure there are no codes or error messages.
Those are the only two things you have to pass. In my post(s) above I suggested most of the options to work around it or through it.
I have a question, would you fail an inspection with the brake, abs and traction control light on and also with the airbag light on? Im curious because my 02 bmw covertible has a problem with the airbag sensor and abs pump and those lights are all on, luckily i live in Arkansas where there is no inspection, just curious if it would pass inspection in other states.
You sure there are no sniffer tests? I'm hearing conflicting info on that. CEL is no problem, I know about O2 cheaters but id def use the tune, because I'm already set up for that. Do they make skid plates that cover that area? if that's the case then I'm golden!
hmmm... ill figure this out. I really don't want to go catted
