Hi im curious if you guys are having any trouble getting your car inspected in Massachusetts..does anyone know of shops that are pretty liberal when it comes to a catback..I will have the stock dp and cat in but I have an aftermarket catback..

Im also gonna be running HKS 272s soon..besides running a little rich with the stock downpipe do I have a good chance of passing?


Any tips or suggestions or places to go?

 

Hey, where are you located, i could definitly help you out. PM me please!

 

pm me where you're located and when you need it... (if you still need it, that is)

 

yup i can help you out too PM if u need it

 

yea i wonder if ill pass too i have a 3 in turbo back, catless

 

im wondering the same thing now that i have a 20g bigger injectors 272 cams and im catless... anyone know a shop around newton? i dont need it for a couple months

 

get that sticker and buy a test pipe and downpipe- will give u more power than those cams!

 

Performance shop that is certified to pass cars for inspection. Or a shop where you take your car to get worked on. That will probably be the best places to take you car for some leeway when getting it inspected. Thats what I would do.

 

I have intercooler pipes fuel pump mbc and a turbo back do you think I can pass? Any shops that I can pay a little extra if you know what I mean

 

If anyone is in South eastern Ma and needs help with a sticker let me know. I have a 3"tbe catless, 15% tint all around no front plate.... ect and my buddy hooks it up. PM me if needed

 

They dont pop the hood in MA so as long as you can pass OBD scan you should be fine. I havent seen a shop hassle people for exhausts even though i am sure it happens.

 

nice im gonna be pming you in july

 

Never had a problem at any inspection station. Only... well questions on how fast it really is.

The thing is, they have a right to refuse to inspect you, and should tell you what they think won't pass before they take your $$. Still, if you do not throw any OBDII codes and all the proper readiness checks have been completed in your ECU you're all set.

They *should* have a tint meter to check that, and if your car is lowered, they should have any meter stick to measure the minimum height of your car.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, plus "advertising" that you can throw money at your friend is no good place to say it. There have been known cases where law enforcement etc use this info to bust people (inspectors). Although we all know it happens, keep your messages to PM's at least please guys?

 

jjm4life you live in newton...cause im always around there...what color is your 8?

 

Does anyone know an inspection station that will pass a modified exhaust now in Boston?
