yeah its not going to pass, until you buy a sticker prolly

or if you have it tuned correctly, the tuner should be able to turn the codes off so you can pass inspection

Why no passy.. The codes or no CATS.... And inspectition are suppose to be a county thing, each has its own rules.. If you were following the rules... LOL.. Clean the code just before showing up and try again. OR find a freind that could take care of you.
