    HFC (High Flow Cats) and Inspection Readiness

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Up here in MA, they have started to enforce inspections and emissions much more than before. With that said, HFC's worry me.

    For those with HFC's:
    What do you run?
    Does your car pass readiness during inspection?
    Does your tune force readiness, or is the bung spaced/angled etc...
    Have you had any codes?

    P.S. Yes, I've used the Google and searched the forums without a straight answer.

    I have high flow cats and APR Stage II test pipe tune (no spacers just regular oxy sensors) - I don't have an EPC light but never have readiness for oxy sensors or cats

    Had jhm cats with giac stg2, used J bung spacers with no codes. Never had readiness but only ran the cats for 2kkm before it was totalled.

    JHM cats
    Area74 "active" O2 sims no CEL
    all readiness passed

    In reality, a small spacer may do the trick. I just ended up purchasing these Area74 to fulfill my curiosities.

    Well well... through some research, I think we have the answer. That device is awesome.
