Default Race Header Questions

I bought a set of LPP Race Headers. I live in a small rural area where we do not have emissions. My question is would it be illegal if I ran the headers in my car since they do not have the EGR/AIR fittings?

Yes it's illegal in the US, but you're less likely to get caught if you don't have testing

You are fine man. If you don't have emissions the how would they find out?? The only thing you would be fined for would be if you didn't have cats on...but in your area I'm not sure if those are even a must??? Are they?

I don't think it would be an issue untill you go to get your car inspected to renew the license plates. In Missouri they don't check emmisions yet but the inspector is supposed to make sure the EGR, cats, etc, are there and working. I suppose it wouldn't be a problem if you know the right person!

Haha, damn you took that to another level. But he's right...only way they'll be able to tell is if a cop lays down and looks under your car and if he tries to give you a ticket tell him you got the LPP's becuase of the built in/low profile cats they have, or some bs like that..They can't prove it unless they hook it up and if they don't have emission testing in that area then they most likely won't be able to..

You're going to jail, and it could have all been avoided had you asked prior to purchase.

I can't say that I know anyone who's ever been busted, or anyone who's had
someone do an inspection outside of the standard annual (or biannual)
inspections, but there is a $25,000 fine for tampering with emissions equipment.
