Catless Downpipes and VEIP

zacnaud · 07-30-2012, 10:54 AM

So i am considering getting some catless down pipes, but am a little concerned about VEIP inspections (commie BS), how do all your Marylanders with catless DPs handle that?

as an aside, how does driving my 4 year old car to VEIP and then idling it for 20 min save emmisions from the atmosphere again? that is exactly why i will be paying in 14 dollars of loose pennies next month when i go get tested!

BMS DP fix as BigDaddyCane said or have some fabricate an 02 sim for you.

Don't think so...even on the COBB. No one that I know of has a setting that sets 'readiness' which is what is needed for the smog test.

Clearing cat codes is standard on piggies and flashes.

I got mine coming up too. I think i need to get a DP fix or at least check if I really need it. I'm Cobb stage 2+FMIC with catless downpipes. Anyone know if my car will give me inspection issues?
