Default Having a hard time getting inspected.

My check engine light is on due to no cats. It used to be easy to just buy a sticker but now anywhere I go when they find out there is no cats they basically tell me to gtfo. My question is if i turn out the light and erase the codes with a hand held programmer can I make it through? If all else fails and I have to put cats on it will it noticeably hurt performance? Buying cats is the last thing I want to do there are much better things Id rather spend my money on.

if it matters my exhaust set up is pacesetter lt's ory magnaflow catback

what codes are you getting the CEL to turn on? Just getting the codes erase won't fix the problem. Getting the codes removed from the PCM is the solution.

Thesilverone: What your saying is a custom tune would solve the problem?

its throwing the o2 codes. Yes in nj the did away with inspection but you still need to pass emissions, but the dont use a sniffer in the exhaust, they plug into your computer and if it doesnt throw any codes you pass.

Sounds a lot better than cats to me lol. I'll probably just go with a frost tune for now.
