what do you guys do to pass inspections? Even if emissions works out it's still an automatic fail since there's no cat right?

I know it's another noob question but is it likely to get a CEL after installing one of these? Daniel - did you have to get one of those O2 senser spacers?
Hey Robert, just get the whole thing with the test pipe....you can go to advanced auto and get the non foulers or you can get the o2 eliminator from gruppe-s....I think its like 10 bucks or something like that....I have had mine on my car for 3 years now and my old evo for 1 year and never had a light come on....You should be good with getting an inspection after its installed....

Robert - that's the exact exhaust I had. Perfect fitment (Justin can attest to that). It actually comes with a spacer for the o2. I bought one not realizing it came with one. Give me a call if you have any questions. I loved that exhaust!

Edit - As for the emissions, I had to go someone to "pass it". It's possible that you could get it passed anyways if you got someone who didn't get under the car and look, but it looks like Los can inspect it for you when that time comes so problem solved!

well honestly its the best place to start. You will learn the "automotive hustle" and it will certainly carry over. Myself and Los have worked in all kind of shops and youll learn alot quick

but i have been a tech/service advisor/shop manager/service manager. It is a VERY VERY stressfull business, Los took almost a year brake from it and i started doing this after i couldnt take it anymore.
