Ny state is easy to pass. Make sure there are no codes being thrown all you have to do is pass the OBS2 test. To pass the cat test just take the shells off of a set of cats and weld them to the pipes so it looks like there are cats installed. The shop i went do didnt even pop my hood, they just checked for cats, i had fakes on and it passed.

what i mean is the stock compuer is byepassed, im running a fast system so my engine light is on and im sure throwing all kinds of codes becasue half the wires have been cut and spliced into the fast system. I also have no muffler becasue the turbo is my muffler. So it will not pass an ob2 test. Not in a million years. Anymore ideas

Every sticker is numbered and is assigned to the car........ Im trying to give him some idea once I finish up some stuff here at work...... He might be able to get a wavier but its going to cost him, 450 bucks in parts and the shop needs to see and hold onto the reciets. But the sticker is only good for one yr.....

Default Inspection Waiver Requirements from the DMV

Inspection Waiver. A vehicle that is required to have the OBDII inspection can qualify for a waiver if:

The vehicle fails the OBDII inspection, but passes the safety inspection, the gas cap check, and the visual inspection of the emission control devices, and
The vehicle receives repairs that are related to the failure of the OBDII inspection and the cost of the repairs is at least $450, and
The vehicle does not pass the OBDII inspection during a reinspection.
The waiver is valid for one year.

After the reinspection, the inspector enters the repair information that you provide into the NYVIP equipment. The NYVIP equipment then notifies the inspector if the vehicle qualifies for a waiver. If the vehicle qualifies, the inspector can use the NYVIP equipment to print a waiver form. You must sign the waiver form, and the inspector must sign the waiver form. The inspection station keeps the waiver form and other documents related to the waiver. The inspector then issues your inspection sticker, and the sticker is valid for one year.

To qualify for a waiver:

You must have the inspection report from the original NYVIP inspection station.
The inspection report must show that your vehicle failed the original OBDII test, but that your vehicle passed the safety inspection, the gas cap check, and the visual inspection of the emission control devices.
The emissions control system of your vehicle must be intact. The system must not show any evidence of tampering.
You must have work orders and receipts that prove that repairs related to the vehicle emissions system were completed at a NYS-licensed repair shop. The work orders and the receipts must prove that the cost of the repairs, parts and labor, was at least $450. If you complete the repairs yourself, the calculation of the cost of the repairs includes only the cost of the parts that were used and does not include any amount for your labor.

Brad that is 100% correct. His big issue is that he is missing every emission device and then needs a waiver on top of that. DMV is **** at audit times about these. Im trying to help him offline but yes you are correct at trying to find a shop that will do this. Me included.
