Obviously, this is going to vary depending on the dealership in question, but I just bought a catless VIII and plan on taking it to the local Mitsu dealer for oil changes, maintenance, etc. I don't live in a part of VA that tests for emissions, thank god, but I'm wondering if there's a high likelihood that the service techs might report me to the DMV for running catless. Anyone have experience in this area?

 

I highly doubt they'd go to the trouble. I have many friends who run completely catless and still have dealer do work on their vehicles. All depends on the dealer, but I don't think you'll get ratted on about your lack of emissions devices.

 

Definitely encouraging. Thanks.

 

nope i dont have cats i have a skunk2 test pipe just got my car serviced lol the guy said he liked the way my car sounded hahaha

 

why would they report you and potentially lose a customer

 

no problem... I'm actually do in for service tomorrow and have a test pipe

 

lol, this is funny

 

This is what makes me love Tennessee. Man, in my area everything is so easy going with nothing to worry about.

I'd say you'll be fine. Good luck

 

I'm moving to Murfreesboro, TN soon actually! It's my home state. Here in GA, they don't really care as much about emissions. My buddy with a 350Z installed an exhaust with test pipes. He passed emissions with them ON! It was just an OBDII check. If you fail it, you can come back again within a month or so for free.

 

no

 

I wouldn't worry about it.

 

why would they care? this is a silly question

 

They have done work on my car and I have it cammed, stroked, bigger turbo, catless, and a lot of other illegal sh*t on there. I think you will be fine..

 

No way. They dont care. At worst they make a mental note if you blew up the tranny, transfer case or motor so they would use it against you to void the warranty. But i even doubt that

 

Because VA is kind of a dick about things like emissions, etc. I'd rather err on the side of caution and ask ahead of time and hopefully avoid getting hit with some kind of emissions violation fee from the DMV.
