Default Fender exit exhaust guys

soooo.... i know some of you run yours on the street and dont just use them for the track and im assuming some of you still need to get inspections and emissions done so my questions is what do you do when these things occur? being in MD we dont need inspections every 2 or 4 years or whatever only when titling the car for the first time so thats not an issue. And im not concerned with it being emissions legal as it already isnt but at least i have pipes running out that back to make it appear legal and no one ever questions it. And yes i have my codes removed so when they scan it all looks well but im not sure how easy its going to be to sneak a big hole in my fender with a loud exhaust pipe sticking out past anyone. i guess the employees are only there to plug it in and make sure it passes but knowing my luck ill get the asshat thats a treee hugger and call me on the exhaust with no emmisions equipment, just wondering what your guys experience with this was. reason im asking is bc im probably going to jump on the huron speed kit and was looking at some S480s and "superman09" suggested a 4" fender exit exhaust.

Fender exit is definitely simple. Im in NC and we do have strict inspection yearly but on that note I am an Inspector so I can get away with pretty much what I want.

Few pics to give you an idea. 5" reduced to 4" at the turbo.

Im in MD too and Im in the same boat. Im tryna find someone that works at a emission station so that he could just let it pass.

I had one guy tell me as long as they can read your codes and its clear then your clear, before I could get his info he was gone . It was at a meet.

We typically make bumper exit downpipes in 2 pieces, the main portion that runs to the bumper area, about 6-10" shy of the bumper. We then use a v-band to add a tip that will extend through the bumper. If you went this route you could remove the tip and cover the hole with something for emissions if you are worried about the visual aspect, however when pulling the car in it will be obvious, but the appearance won't be there

You gotta know someone bottom line or be a licensed inspector like myself. My computer has all the emission stuff tuned out of it.

I live in NW Indiana and we have emissions every couple years. I also have a 4" fender exit and I have not had an issue with it yet, but i've only had one emission test. All they have ever done is just plug in their scanner and have at it. To be honest, most of them probably don't know any better, and those that do probably like it

yea thats kinda what im hoping for. i mean even now they do a mirror check for cats and can obvioulsly see they're not there and they hear the cam thumping but as long as they're computer says its good then they dont say anything. guess all i can do is slap it on and hope for the best haha. and who knows, by the time i get all my parts together it might be 20 years old and i wont need emissions anyway haha.

The demand and growing popularity of the front bumper exit exhausts is growing huge!

How is it that you're all gear heads but you don't have friends with an inspection license?

Acquiring a friend with a shop should be at the top of your priority list.

It's nice to live in a state without vehicle inspections.

Which test site did you go to? Griffith, crown point, or...

I need to go in august with my turbo gto that has a bumper exit. Still not sure if they are gonna let that fly but you give me hope haha.

If all else fails I'll make up a exhaust that exits before the rear tire. They might try to get me with it not being behind the passenger compartment. Pretty sure that is IN state law on where the exhaust exits. It must be behind you.

Griffith, it's like 30 seconds down the street from my parents. Yea, you could always just fab something up quick and hang it with some wire if you have any issues lol.

In Texas we have inspections too. Once a year. But as long as you have a friend that is an inspector, all you have to do is have no codes so it can pass the computer scan(state computer) and you don't have to worry about emissions.
