Anyone in Massachusetts have long tubes and a catted-y set up that PASSES the FULL emissions test? I'm nervous about throwing big dollars towards a nice system and having it not reliably pass inspections.

Also anyone hit up shows in central mass this summer?

No full length header will pass emissions. Anything that moves the catalitic location is illegal, plus none of them are carb stamped.

Don't worry though, as long as you have cats you can pass the visual ( that's all they look for), they shouldn't give you a hard time.

So if i run pacesetter long tubes with the tsp catted-y with magnaflow high flow cats, and hook up all my sensors correctly, i could probably pass? they have never looked under my car before, but it has always been stock and quiet. whats the chances that they know the stock location of the cats anyway? heh

Shouldn't run into any problems unless the guy is a jerk. You might want to consider 02 sims for the rear sensors. when I 1st put on long tubes i threw tons a efficiency codes.

like dan said just get some sims for the rear o2's and go to town . its probbly a 1% chance theyll actully even notice ya have changed anything . and if you have cats your ahead of the game the way most header cars around here are

Hey slowhawk i am considering long tubes and high flow cats for my 06 gto and your name keeps coming up when it comes to tuning. Hopefully by the end of the summer i will be able to get everything on and get a hold of ya. I am in Framingham Ma, but went to school down near where you are.

i have long tubes and no cats and my car passed fine with no problems at all. as slowhawk said there are not many people that i know with f-bodies that dont have long tubes

Most inspection stations just plug you in, as long as your SES lights are cleared you pass, I never hear of stations looking under to check cats

Sorry,I don't do LS2 based cars yet. The software out there sucks at the moment.Hopefully soon

I passed with LTs and no cats. Just have the codes tuned out and you won't have problems.

SLP long tubes with cats and I passed no problems.......that is until my cats disintegrated....now I just have the codes turned off.

in 8+ years of driving a car, i have never had an inspection tech crawl under there. granted, my exhaust is rather quiet compared to the people with LM's and duals, so that might have something to do with it as well.

where in mass are you?? send me a pm. and if u are in my area i can let u know of a shop that you'll have no problem at

Wow surprised to see so many people here from this god awful state and running full exhaust no less! I would love to hear a car or two before I buy my parts (thinking about the pacesetter/catted-y combo from TSP) if anyone hits any shows around the Worcester area let me know! I'm often at Hebert candy mansion in shrewsbury or Kimball's Farm in Weston on thursdays.

i head to heberts once in a while, havent been yet this year... i've got long tubes ory and a cam though, so not really a good representation of what your car will sound like, probably make you want a cam though

KC21386

Drop me a PM if your heading over to heberts sometime in the next few weeks, ill probably be there with my buddy and his dad's bright yellow '70 hemi cuda convertible. And i DO want a cam... its all about the funding tho

No headers yet, but how do you "tune out" the codes?
