Default Ohio + Turbo + E-check =?

Hey guys,

my friend has a 2000 mustang gt and is putting a turbo on it

will he pass echeck without a cat/muffler or will he have to have those on the car? I believe they just use a sniffer while the car is idling. Its for the cleveland area

thanks!

no, they use the OBD-II plug in test for 96+ cars and they will look for cats (most of the time).

If his car isn't throwing any codes and passes all the readiness checks, he should be ok.

they are supposed to do a visual no matter what but you are not required to have a muffler. As long as it can pass the plug in test.

yeah ohio is "supposed" to do away with echeck this year, but you know how that goes

probably go with a high flow cat and see what happens
