Secondary cat deletion - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mattyd97 · 10-12-2015, 09:19 PM

Hey all, I've already purchased the ARK Performance DT-S echaust, but I'm not looking to get the ARK Performance R-Spec Resonated Test Pipe. Doing so would require the deletion of my secondary cat, so I'm curious as to how I would pass emissions without it? I'm also in New York if it makes a difference, thanks in advance everyone!

You'll pass an OBD2 inspection, but you'll fail a visual inspection if they perform those in NY. I know some states are pretty lax on spot-checking for cats.

Awesome! Now that leads to my next question... I was looking into purchasing a Cobb AccessPort to use after the installation of the test pipe, but unfortunately they discontinued it. Any idea where I can get one used or are there any other good alternatives?

I don't think the AP ever worked with the 86. A comparable alternative is the OpenFlash Tablet.
