Unlikely you'll pass without greasing a palm.

If there's a visual inspection it will fail. Depending upon a number of factors you may fail an OBDII scan or emissions as well. You will probably have to pay someone to pass the car.

Inspection varies by county in your state if I'm not mistaken.

Running a turbo with a stock exhaust is like trying to drink soup with a straw. This is the main thing I worry about with people going FI: doing halfway jobs. Cant you save a few more weeks / months and do a proper job the first time?

inspection is every state, emmissions is by county. I'm assuming you live in Allegheny county so you will have emmissions testing. I would find a family member in butler county and change your address and when you reregister your car this year, change your address to up there and then you'll only need inspection.

ps. I live in beaver county, or i'd let you use my address, but i have emmisions testing out here as well.

Running a turbo with a restrictive exhaust is like trying to sprint with a rubberband on your *******.
