Dont go to a big name place, go to a small shop. As long as your light isnt on youll be good. I passed with lt/ory just fine.

I go anywhere. As long as the car is tuned properly and isn't throwing any codes, it will pass. Every time I bring my car in they do the plug in test. Most of the time they don't do a visual or have no clue what they should be looking for to begin with. My car has long tubes plus EGR and AIR removed.

Yes from what iv seen the tsp catted y hangs a bit low. IMO with your mods you'll be fine as long as your car isn't loud because then they might suspect something. I'm not sure of what cat back you have.

OP you could try economy oil change on rt. 30 in Vernon. I had no issues taking my car there, assuming the car passes the plug in test.
