Help with passing emissions!

[TrboPowr]

Hey guys, I live in the wonderfully crappy District of Columbia and need to pass emissions....here's the catch though, I have the dreaded TESTPIPE!
Can i pass emissions with it and/or is there any solution to pass the sniffer?
TIA!

Not sure how it is in DC but in Md they give me a waiver because i have a lowered car...

No - you cannot pass emissions with a test pipe. Period.

Spend $800 on a Milltek high flow cat or put your stock cat back on.

You have to take it off. Either replace with a high-flow cat as suggested, or put the stock cat back on...

But there is no way you can pass without a catalytic converter unless you know the dude who inspects your car and they don't care haha

i would put the cat back on but its such a bitch here cuz im at school and there is no access to a garage... hmmm what about denatured alcohol?

[Phrost]

Gut out some random catalytic converter and shove the spongy internals and metal wires into your muffler. That might work

No way you will pass with out a Cat. Put it back on and go then change it again. alot of work but you really dont have a choice. Good luck

if your chipped and have the testpipe file then you shouldnt have any problems as long as you CEL is not on....i went in w/o saying anything and passed with flying colors and im in nyc....GL

The only sure answer is to put the Federally mandated emission system back on your car.

This is the part I love most about the "test pipe" mod. it gets you a smelly, loud car that get get liscensed. Sweet!!! hahahaha. If you can't pass emissions you don't get a new liscense, and you shouldn't!!! Save a tree and put a Cat back on you car!

Move to Wisconsin, we have no emissions testing and people drive around here with straight pipes and "stacks" on their trucks all the time.

The only mod police here don't like is window tint and REALLY loud/annoying import exhausts. Everything else they think is cool haha

Same in MN. I love not having to deal with emissions. I have my cat on but it saves a trip to the DMV to get tested.
