On a more serious note, does anyone with a catless header have any issues getting it inspected? I know Texas says you have to keep all the cats that come with the car but how closely do places check?

AFAIK Texas does not require a visual inspection, I think it just needs to pass an OBD2 scan.

So basically something OFT or other programming can take care of.....

Yes, but I would double check that before pulling any triggers...

Yeah just thinking ahead. I'm leaving major parts alone until my freebie maintenance has expired. Just looking for experiences others might have had with mods vs red tape. When I lived in NH they kicked the tires and if the wheels didn't fall off they gave me a sticker.

on that note, does anyone know of a sticker place that will ignore illegal tint?

Austin, unfortunately, has some of the more stricter shops, but that was in South Austin for me. For emissions, it's a CEL and OBDII check - I've never had a visual inspection. If you are truly worried, either go to Lil Mexico, or a county that doesn't do emissions (my choice is usually somewhere near Abilene).

Both my car and my Camaro SS I bought back in 2010 have catless headers and I have 0 issues passing inspection. At the rate Austin is growing, that may change at some point. This is why I got a catted front pipe because that will still let you pass the sniffer. Filters enough at idle to get by. |

Plenty of time to look into this though - I want to do suspension before I start pulling stuff off the engine The car's been fast enough for the past almost year I've had it and I want to get something slightly more aggressive than the stock shocks/struts. Then later will be smoothing out what the engine can do. It's funny that most of the drives I go on put the engine right in the middle of the torque pit though. |
