check your state emissions testing.... most test only stations have a visual, so therefore you will fail if you take your EGR off

people pay off the smog tech, have a hookup, or get lucky with the visual

I'm in NC too, and I'm wondering the same thing. Regardless of what LTs you put on, it's technically illegal to move the cats, but since NC doesn't do the sniffer, I don't know how strict each individual shop that does inspections would look for it.

As long as you don't have an SES code you should do fine with your car. NC tests the computer on OBD2 cars. So as long as you have it tuned and clear all the SES's you'll be fine. Most shops just rely on the computer to do the work now and don't even bother looking under the hood. They just check lights, turn signals, etc.

If the time table is close to your inspection I get it inspected first and watch them inspect you car. That way'll you can see how severely that shop looks them over. If they don't raise the hood. I'd get rid of all the eger and stuff and just reprogram the computer.

In NC they do a visual inspection ususally if you just move the cats you will be fine but if their off the car you will probally fail
