Can I pass inspection if I run a catless testpipe? With a tune of course. I have heard a lot of mixed feelings on the subject so far.

 

Will be interesting to find out! I move there in June

 

Yes I'm running a full turbo back exhaust from tomei and recently did my inspection in jan. As long as your check engine light does not come on your good.

 

I have Cobb stage 3 I kept tripping 0137 so I eliminated the rear O2 and failed. Went back to OTS Stage 3 Cobb map and tripped 0137 again just before heading to the test. I guess like tommyhomer1 said, if your timing is right and you are not tripping MIL, you should be fine.

 

I know we already talked about it Tommy, but I just wanted to hear more feedback. Guess its a good thing I'll be grabbin your exhaust! LOL! I figure its all in the tune perhaps.

 

I have been running straight pipe exhaust for 6+ years and a past inspection every time. As long as it doesnt throw an check engine light you'll be good

 

I guess you can do the timing. But I never have a code on my car. I was trying to say they don't do smog test on our car or look underneath. I just run it with a v3 with a stage 2 map and I haven't had any problems

 

Didn't even realize it was you lol

 

By timing, I mean, time it to where you don't throw a CEL. Mine will randomly throw a P0137. Annoying. I have a MAP test pipe with non fowler.

 

This question is gonna be off topic anyone does meet or get together on weekdays in the morning or noon or even on Saturday. I own my evo for a year now but haven't gotten to know anyone that's pretty sad lol

 

there is a meet every sunday evening @7 in Mansfield. This meet is getting really big and all makes and model shows up

 

I guess I have to ask for an evening off then. That's one of the reason I can never go! I work evening. But thanks for the info

 

Maybe we could start a Mid week meet?! I to am eager to meet other evo owners and learn the what to and what not to do's with the car. And get some tasteful ideas for my build.

 

I'm down with that we could also do it on Saturday too anytime before 4. Maybe Starbucks or something? Anyone else besides me and you would like to do this. There got to be more friendly evo owners out there.

 

Well, this got extremely off topic. Haha.

There are already too many Evo meets, so making another mid week meet will have terrible turnout. This has been a recurring theme over the past few years to make a meet to satisfy a couple people and nobody shows up.

So...just attend the established events and there will be plenty of Evo owners.
NTEC 3rd Tuesday is the original meet. Go to this one. Just plan on attending and adjust your schedule as necessary.
Cars and coffee 1st Saturday always draws many Evo's.
Cobb 1st Thursday is another great meet.

Back on topic-running catless in DFW isn't too hard. Just hope they don't look under your car and you'll be fine.
